High Energy Density

• ME = 33.3 MJ/kg DM
• 2.5 times to ME concentration of cereals
• Highest measured NEL = 27.3 MJ/kg DM
• More energy per bite
• Energy used very efficiently for milk production

High Digestibility

• Over 90% from research studies
• 45% unsaturated fatty acids
• Fat & energy available for use by the cow

Increased Milk Production (25 trials)

• Milk yield response = +2.3kg/cow/day
• MS response = +80g/day in first 150 days

Improved Feed Efficiency

• More milk produced per kg DM intake
• Higher returns from the herd

Improved Rumen Function

• Reduces acidosis risk in the rumen
• More favourable conditions for growth or fibre-digesting bacteria

Reduced Methane Production

• Over 13% less methane produced per kg milk = more efficient production
• Less dietary energy lost as methane

Improved Fertility

• Improvement in 1st service conception, 100-day in-calf rates and not-in-calf rates
• Increased diet energy density targeted to reduce body condition loss, time to oestrous and improved conception rate
• Increases follicle size to improve chances of pregnancy
• Increased production of progesterone to improve embryo survival
