Calfat
More milk, better fertility.
Calfat is a rumen-protected fat supplement which increases energy supply in diets without increasing the acid load in the rumen and risk of acidosiss, unlike starchy sources of energy such as cereals.
Calfat is an ideal supplement to increase energy supply in early lactation diets of cows and sheep and is well-proven to improve cow fertility.

- High NEL = 2.96 Mcal/lb DM
- Not fermented in the rumen – energy without risk of acidosis
- Suitable energy source for all ruminant species
