Benefits of Molasses

• Because of its sticky nature, molasses reduces the dusty powdery nature of some finely ground feeds. In this role, it makes a feed mixture more palatable to livestock.
• Add molasses to replace missing sugar and trace minerals and help with fermentation in cases of low quality forages especially with low sugar levels.

• Increases milk solid production.
• Improves milk let-down.
• Promotes animal health.

• Increases diet density when intake is reduced before calving.
• Provides sugar during early pasture growth.
• Assists pregnancy rates (condenses calving patterns).

• Increases palatability.
• Reduces the ability of picky horses to sort through feed.
