COMPLEX LIQUID FEED
Overview
Complex Liquid Feed is a high-protein, low-cost feed supplement designed to improve the nutritional value and palatability of forage-based rations. It is beneficial when high-protein feeds like soybean and rapeseed meal are expensive or unavailable.
Palatability is a major concern from low quality silage. The new COMPLEX LIQUID FEED products improve palatability so stock intake is higher.
By complexing the amino nitrogen with phosphate and magnesium the ammonia is stabilised and only releases slowly as the rumen bacteria convert it to high quality protein. Add seaweed and beneficial minerals and vitamins to the product and you improve the health and well-being of your stock plus improves conversion rate.
Feeding liquid feeds that contain molasses is known to increase the energy extracted from the diet and utilises the nitrogen for microbial protein production. This efficiency is maximised when all other required microbial nutrients are also given.
Molasses is also a source of carbohydrate which is readily available for rumen microbes improving rumen function. Increasing microbial protein production and ration fibre digestibility.
Are you short of what you need?
As long as you can get hold of some straw you can then simply add COMPLEX LIQUID FEED high protein at the rate of approximately 1 litre per head per day.
We can even tailor-make you one that will convert straw into a quality feed complete with all minerals including magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, boron, cobalt, selenium etc.
Adapting cattle and the rumen to feed change is a serious management challenge. One of the challenges is the need to reduce the impact of the ever increasing reliance on commodity based rations. Using a molasses based liquid product like COMPLEX LIQUID FEED helps maintain uniform feed intake overall and is exceptional in masking ration component changes.
Why us?
Improved palatability in animal feed enhances overall intake by making the feed more appealing to animals. By coating all Total Mixed Ration (TMR) components and holding them together, this approach reduces the physical separation of fine ingredients, preventing sorting and encouraging uniform intake of all ration components.
The high sugar content, combined with rumen-available protein, provides an immediate food source for rumen microbes, minimising bacterial challenges and helping microbes adapt and resume normal rumen function more quickly.
Rumen degradable protein is broken down into ammonia by rumen microbes, which is then synthesised into amino acids and absorbed in the intestine. Surplus protein is absorbed by the blood, processed by the liver, and excreted as urea. This excretion process requires energy, making it important to manage protein levels in animal feed efficiently.
We include seaweed in the COMPLEX LIQUID FEED because most people know it is beneficial to all living creatures and few more so than your animals. Small amounts of seaweed will provide health benefits that nothing else can compare with.
We use ‘Atlantic Gold’ which is a pure clean cold pressed extract that retains a wide range of health giving vitamins plus over 28 minerals including iodine along with 18 amino acids.
Highly concentrated so you don’t need much and the benefits to stock include:
-
Increased milk yield and butter fat
-
Reduced milk fever, cleansings
-
Increases weight gain in Beef/Sheep
-
Improves fertility - conception rates
-
Improved general health
The secret is a little every day and that is why it is an integral part of the COMPLEX LIQUID FEED program.
