Boost
Boost is an energy supplement made from pure fatty-acid product obtained by fractionation of palm fat. The fatty acids are split off specifically from the fat molecules and sprayed to form a dry, free-flowing fat powder
What Is Boost?
-
Boost consists of predominantly long-chain saturated fatty acids, unlike other energy supplement made from fractionated palm fat or calcium salt (or soap) of palm fatty acids.
-
This makes it resistant to fast oxidation and spoilage.
-
It also has a high melting point of 58ºC.
Trial Test Results
-
For comparison with the zero control, 2% PureBoost (percentage of the dry feed weight) were added as a supplement.
-
As a result of this supplementation the fat content of the milk increased from 3.88% to 4.18%.
-
This represents a highly significant increase in the quantity of milk fat from 1.23 kg to 1.33 kg per cow and day.
-
Correspondingly the milk quantity, 3.5% FCM, also increased significantly by 1.7 kg per day
Economic evaluation of the use of PureBoost in US $
-
The table shows a comparison between control and PureBoost. With the addition of 2% PureBoost to the dry feed, the production of FCM was higher with PureBoost.
-
This also shows that although the feed uptake of the PureBoost group was lower than in the control group, PureBoost enables the cows to meet their energy requirements with a smaller feed uptake.
-
The economic evaluation of the trial on the basis of prices at the time of the trial shows that the addition of PureBoost offers a definite economic benefit.
-
In order to verify these results, a second trial was carried out with identical usage levels (2% PureBoost). This led to significantly higher values for PureBoost with 4% more milk, 3% more FCM, 3% more ECM and 3% more protein.
