Molasses-Based Feeds and Their Use as Supplements for Brood Cows
F.M. Pate et al
The first objective of this circular is to discuss molasses-based feeds in general. This includes an overview of the numerous ingredients used to formulate molasses-based feed mixtures, advantages and precautions of feeding molasses-based feeds, types of feeding equipment, and when and where to use different formulations. This will help producters select and feed a molasses-based supplement that best fits their situation.
The second objective is to help cow-calf producers determine the benefits of feeding molasses-based supplements to the brood cow herd. This will be accomplished by presenting production results from two recent long-term experiments which evaluated typical molasses-base supplements that were fed to brood cows grazing Florida pastures.
