FAQ

WHAT IS MOL‐MIX?

Mol-Mix is a liquid, molasses based feed supplement that contains the protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals that pasture grass and forage can’t always provide. Mol-Mix products are homogeneous, uniform mixtures that maintain stability and feature long shelf life.

They’re an affordable, convenient way to make sure your cattle’s nutritional requirements are met.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each Mol-Mix formula contains protein, phosphorus, potassium, necessary vitamins, and many more nutrients essential to animal nutrition. The key, though, is palatability. Cattle are attracted to the molasses in Mol-Mix, so they’ll come back to it throughout the day enough to satisfy their needs, but not enough to overeat. As long as proper feeding and management practices are followed, overeating is unlikely to occur.

The ingredients in Mol-Mix have a number of important nutritional benefits. By stimulating micro-organisms in the rumen, they can boost appetite, feed intake and feed utilization.

HOW DO I FEED MOL‐MIX?

Mol-Mix gives you a number of feeding options. You can choose any one of them with confidence. Mol-Mix may be fed as a freechoice supplement in lickwheel feeders;  as a top dressing on the roughage or grain portion of the diet, or as an ingredient to be mixed in with all-in-one ration or concentrates.

Regardless of how you use it, Mol-Mix greatly improves the value of ordinary feed.

IS MOL‐MIX SAFE?

University tests in which cattle consumed twice the recommended amount of Mol-Mix showed no adverse effects in animal health or milk production. Again, proper feeding and management practices are extremely important to ensure safety, read the label.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO FEED MOL‐MIX?

There’s definitely not a bad time. Since the nutrients in grass are only adequate about 60 days a year, a good supplement is absolutely necessary to get top performance out of your cattle. Mol-Mix is ideal when grass is at its weakest, but year-round use can mean better health and increased production overall.

CAN MOL‐MIX BE FED TO BOTH BEEF AND DAIRY CATTLE?

Yes. Mol-Mix can help brood cows wean more and heavier calves, while steers and heifers will come through winter with bigger, more mature frames, so they can really take advantage of summertime forage. Besides the extra weight, beef operators can see improved health and appearance, and a big dollar difference at sale time.

For lactating cows, the nitrogen content of Mol-Mix means plenty of protein available for milk production and growth. For replacement heifers, Mol-Mix means faster maturity, and assurance that they’ll get to the milking herd on time. If you trust your heifers to forage alone, they might not make it. Finally, for dry cows, Mol-Mix can help maintain their health during the dry period and prepare them for the next lactation.

HOW DO MOL‐MIX PRODUCTS DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER?

Mol-Mix is our basic formula, complete with protein, phosphorus, potassium, necessary vitamins, and trace minerals. Mol-Mix also has formulas available fortified with fat.

HOW DOES MOL‐MIX PAY?

Consider the convenience first: Mol-Mix eliminates the time and labor consuming chore of hand feeding grain rations, and greatly reduces the amount of waste, letting you maximize the value of your forage. The production and nutritional benefits combine to make Mol-Mix a very good investment.

WHAT OTHER BENEFITS CAN I EXPECT FROM MOLMIX?

For starters, Mol-Mix comes in protein levels of 12-41% so you can always pick the one you need for the season and forage quality.
