Supplement Fats

The Role of Fat Supplements in Dairy Nutrition

Fat supplements are a concentrated source of energy that help meet the high demands of modern dairy cows, particularly during early lactation when energy deficits are common. By providing slow-release, rumen-protected fats, these supplements improve milk yield, boost butterfat percentages, and support overall body condition without compromising rumen health.

Why Use Fat Supplements?

Energy is often the most limiting nutrient in high-yielding cows. Fat supplements offer a dense, digestible energy source that supports reproductive performance, reduces the risk of metabolic disorders, and enhances production efficiency. They are especially beneficial in balancing energy-to-protein ratios and can be tailored to suit different stages of lactation or herd management goals.
