Product catalog summary

Overview of Mega-Fat Products
The Mega-Fat range of fat supplements is designed for lactating dairy animals, focusing on improving milk fat percentage. These products contain high concentrations of C16 (palmitic) fatty acids, which are proven to enhance milk fat production.

Key Features and Benefits

Efficient absorption by the udder, stimulating milk fat production.
Reported increases in milk fat percentage by up to 0.3% when using high-C16 supplements.
Rumen-protected fat avoids disruption to fiber digestion, unlike liquid oils or high-fat ingredients.
Provides maximum energy without increasing the risk of acidosis, as it is not fermented.

Research Findings
Studies from Michigan State University (2013 and 2015) demonstrate improvements in milk yield and milk fat percentage with high-C16 fat supplements.
