Promotes rumen bacteria function, ensuring enhanced forage utilisation, increased feed intake and digestion.

Helps prevent Tetany, a metabolic disease most common when temperatures drop and stock graze on short, green grasses or green cereal crops low in magnesium. Difficult to detect, tetany can be fatal if left unchecked. Supplement can be fed in an open tub or in roller licker drums.
Molafos GT is a palatable supplement that is high in Molasses (Energy) with Magnesium, salt and a sound mineral balance.
The availability of Magnesium from pasture is more often a problem than is simple Magnesium deficiency in the pasture. Antagonists in fresh green feed such as high Potassium, Soluble Protein and Cis and Trans Aconitic Acid reduce the availability of Magnesium from both the digestive tract and from the body’s reserves. (Note that the skeleton contains 2% Magnesium which represents over 70% of the body’s reserves).
Low sodium levels lead to very poor transport across the wall of the rumen, the major site for absorption of Magnesium. This combined with low blood Calcium and the presence of the antagonists, predispose cattle to a rapid fall in Magnesium levels in the fluid surrounding the brain and the spinal cord (cerebro spinal fluid). This results in nervous symptoms and in some cases Grass Tetany (hypomagnesaemia).The animals most at risk are mature cows in good body condition, either pregnant or lactating.
SUITABLE FOR CATEGORIES: Breeder, Weaner, Backgrounder, Finishers
