Just as sugar is a staple in any human's diet as a main source of energy, many are seeing the benefits of adding sugar to livestock's daily diet as well. After decades of experimenting with livestock feed, liquid sugars may just be the solution you are looking for, and for good reason.
Adding liquid sweeteners like molasses to livestock feed has made a positive impact on farmers across the country. Molasses is primarily used for dairy cows and beef cows, and has a variety of benefits.
Molasses is a popular choice for cattle feed since it's primarily made from sucrose, which is easier to digest than sweeteners made from fructose or glucose.
Molasses is a liquid sugar, which is preferred over crystalline sugars for digestion purposes as well. Molasses is made from boiling sugar cane juice, leaving behind a concentrated extract that contains more nutrients than just table sugar. This means using molasses grants added nutritional benefits beyond just the improved taste that other liquid sugars provide.
Cows all have a rumen, a large compartment found in the stomach on the left side of the body. The rumen is large, holding up to 25 gallons of material at a time. Liquid molasses helps make the rumen more efficient so it can break down the nutrients in the feed and in the molasses itself.
This way, the cattle can absorb more of the nutrients, leaving behind healthier cows overall. Since molasses can stimulate a cow's appetite, you can ensure your cattle are eating consistently and maintain a good weight.
