Molasses has a long history of use in animal feeds. SvG Intermol has taken this wholesome ingredient and, using technology and expertise in liquids, developed a comprehensive range of molasses-based liquid feeds which meet the needs of today's livestock farmers in their quest for more efficient and profitable animal performance.
The key benefits of using SvG Intermol's molasses-based feeds are summarised below:
1. Effective
Molasses and Regulated Release blends provide an extremely cost-effective source of fermentable energy and rumen degradable protein. Together these provide the rumen bugs with the ideal nutrient balance to maximise performance.
2. Easy to use
Molasses and Regulated Release blends are easy to handle liquids which retain their free-flowing nature all year round. Stored in a sealed tank, they satisfy the tightening requirements of feed storage on farm. SvG Intermol have designed a range of wheel lick feeders and feeding equipment ensuring that whatever the system, feeding molasses blends is easy and hassle free.
3. Palatable
Molasses is one of the most palatable feeds available on farm. Its high sugar level stimulates animal appetite and increases overall dry matter intakes. When feeding less palatable straights, poorly fermented silage or high magnesium levels the palatability of molasses allows this to be done without reducing intake and performance.
4. Wholesome
Intermol produces a wide range of molasses and Regulated Release blends produced from natural wholesome cane molasses. SvG Intermol sources, ships and blends the molasses. Quality, traceability and peace of mind are assured.
5 . Flexible
A variety of liquids and feeding equipment suitable for all classes of livestock and feeding situations are produced by SvG Intermol. The ranges extend from straight molasses through simple blends to the advanced technology of Regulated Release and suspension technology . Whatever the situation SvG Intermol produce a product to suit and are happy to discuss the wide range of options that are available to ensure that customers' requirements are met.

6 . Advanced
With Regulated Release now firmly established as 'the' high protein liquid to be used in TMR, SvG Intermol is clearly at the forefront of liquid research and technology. This technological know-how has also led to the development of suspension technology which enables the vitamins and minerals to be suspended in a molasses based liquid providing high spec, high quality, convenient products for all classes of stock. More recent product developments include Complete Sheep in which all the nutrients required by the ewe are suspended in the liquid base, and Transition Cow , which both contain ingredients unique to the UK market.
7 . Dust free
Molasses is beneficial in any feeding system where dust is a problem as this can lead to health problems for both stock and stockman alike. Molasses eliminates dustiness as well as providing all the nutritional benefits expected of SvG Intermol products. With expertise in liquid technology, SvG Intermol has also developed DB 50 , a product specifically designed to reduce dust in home mixed rations.
8 . High dry matter
Compared to either grass silage (16-24% DM) and maize silage (28-35% DM), molasses is very high in dry matter (75%). This, together with its negligible substitution rate in the rumen enables stock to consume extra dry matter compared to those rations containing no molasses based liquids.
9 . Concentrated nutrition
All SvG Intermol liquid products have a high nutrient density and high dry matter. Depending on the product chosen they contain high levels of fermentable energy and rumen degradable protein and may also contain digestible undegradable protein, glucose precursors, selected oils and fats and a full complement of necessary vitamins, minerals and trace elements. In some cases, all the above may be included.
10 . Best value
With SvG Intermol's trading desk sourcing molasses from around the world and buying at opportune times, molasses products are available at the most competitive prices. This together with the early order buying incentive and flexible contracts means that Intermol's products are always cost effective and attractive to farmer and stock alike. |
