Technical Information
Truegraz® is free flowing and less viscous than molasses. The use of nitrogen will maximize organic matter, fermentation and microbial protein synthesis while the sugar contained in Truegraz® will influence the quality of the microbial protein available for absorption.
To ensure gut health, it is essential that satisfactory levels of roughage are available to complement the performance of the supplement. Truegraz® is not a complete feed and must be fed with appropriate roughage to deliver performance. It contains 11% salt as an essential nutrient and to limit consumption. Truegraz® is also available at various salt levels to adjust feed intake to suit your farm requirements.

If young calves/cattle are being fed, additional sources of protein may be required. Such as whole cottonseed or cottonseed meal.
Suitable for open top trough feeding.
