Cow feed profitability with sugar

How about chocolate or candy? See following article: Farmer beefs up production with candy

I completely agree, in Cartago, Colombia, we have been producing since 1998 supplements based on sugar and its byproducts with successful results in dairy cattle, barley, lift and breeding, as breeding Equine in all its stages and zootechnical objectives.

Thanks for your useful information.

The use of sugar, especially in the 7 day prepartum calving to compensate for the energy in the first days after birth is very good and different research that has been done.

Dear All,
I appreciate the positive comments on my article' Sugar feeding to cows'. To answer my friend from NSW Australia I have to say there is no rumen acidosis if the sugar is compounded in the feed with right technology. Sugar as such is non fermentable sugar therefore it is possible to use'bypass sucrose' technology/ The chocolates and candy could be produced for cows. Please read my article Sugar blocks – a new generation animal lick technology. I would like to get contacts of Mr/ Victor for sharing our experiences.

Hello. We have a milk farm in colombia and are starting to feed our cows with fruit residue that we get from a local fruit plant. These fruit residues come from pineapple, banana, strawberry, melon and blackberries amongst others. Does your research on sugar include sugar from fruits? Or does it only apply to sugar syrup? Can we expect similar results using fruit? Thank you.

sugar is resultable item in dairy feed for production and health of animal, farmers use to mix sugar in the form of molasses usually, some are using bread and other bakery items i m agree about usage of sugar and have felt its positive results.

I tend to agree with the authour. A few months back, I met one of my friends in Sargodha area who practically observed and claimed that feeding dairy animals with left over syrup while making Gur increased the milk fat of cows from 3.5 to 5% while increasing the milk yield by at least 10 %.
