"Our priority is to offer New Zealand farmers access to industry leading feed products supported by an efficient supply chain with outstanding customer service," he says.
Mr Calcinai believes that the focus on milk composition with the incoming parameters and potential penalties from inflated fat, measured using the fat evaluation index (FEI), will encourage the use of feeds other than palm kernel.
Molasses provides the flexibility to be fed in its current state or blended with other GrainCorp dry or liquid feeds to help reduce palm kernel consumption and FEI penalties.
"It's widely agreed that molasses is an excellent supplementary feed for pasture fed ruminants and provides many benefits for dairy cows as part of the overall diet."
As well as blackstrap and feed-grade molasses, GrainCorp Feeds will also offer blended molasses in their LiquiPro range, such as molasses with calcium, magnesium, and zinc or other additives to suit different herd requirements.
