Feeding Guidelines: Cane molasses is a very

flexible and nutritious feed. It can be top- dressed
on forages, mixed with dry feeds or fed in a diet
feeder as part of the TMR. A good complement to
grass-based diets, where its rapidly digestible
sugars are an ideal balancer to the highly
degradable protein in the forage.

day or 15% of the total diet mix.
Beef Cattle: Up to 2.5kg (normal 1-2 kg) per head
per day or 15% of the total diet mix.
Young Cattle: Up to 1.5kg or 5% of the total diet
