Biscuit Meal · Ruminants

Biscuit meal for dairy and beef cattle

Easily digested energy for ruminant rations: milk yield, fattening performance and carcass quality.

Biscuit Meal

Milk yield and daily gain

Its role in this ration

In ruminants biscuit meal closes the energy gap with starch and sugar that ferment quickly in the rumen. It supports the energy demand of early lactation in dairy cows and daily gain in fattening; its fat content contributes to marbling in the carcass.

About inclusion rates

The share in the ration depends on the animal group, the performance target and the other ingredients; it should be set with your feed nutritionist. The information below describes the role of the product in this group; it is not a formula.

Points of attention

  • Rapidly fermentable carbohydrate: introduce gradually for rumen pH stability and plan together with the forage share.
  • Dairy: energy support in early lactation and milk fat/protein balance; contribution to fertility.
  • Beef: daily gain and carcass quality; replaces part of the oilseed ingredients.
  • Also used as an energy source in sheep and goat rations.
  • Daily amount per head is set by the ration nutritionist.
