Description / QLF Dairy SugR 40
The Dairy SugR range sets the benchmark for QLF’s premium, high sugar liquid feeds. QLF’s Dairy SugR products contain an immediately available source of energy from sucrose along with vitamins and minerals. By providing a quick energy source to rumen microbes in the form of ‘6 – carbon’ sugars, the Dairy SugR range can help to improve fibre digestion, thereby increasing microbial protein production.
The product can be poured on to forage or fed within a home TMR mix. It can also be used in home mix rations to reduce dust and increase palatability. The Dairy SugR range are designed to flow freely in most mixers and auger systems with little or no build-up, whilst also flowing freely during cold winter temperatures.
