- Molasses is highly heterogeneous and its sensorial properties vary, depending on the origin, season and production process (Soulet et al., 2014).
- Molasweet is a flavour and palatant combination product that resembles the taste and smell of cane molasses. 40g Molasweet equates to 10kg molasses regarding taste and smell.
- Partial replacement of molasses with Molasweet significantly improved feed intake, average daily gain and feed conversion ratio in a sheep feedlot diet (Bravo et al., 2012. Abstract 15th AAAP Congress).
- Supplementing 250-300g Molasweet/ton calf feed improved both ADG and FCR (P<0.05) in 2 similar commercial post-weaned dairy calf trials (Pancosma Technical Bulletin 154 / Pancosma trial report).
- Molasweet was evaluated at a commercial dairy farm in SA. Supplementing 160g Molasweet on top of a dairy cow ration containing no molasses, increased feed intake (P<0.05) and decreased the variation in feed intake (P<0.05) when compared to periods when no Molasweet was supplemented (Pancosma Technical Bulletin 163).
- A commercial farm evaluation in South Korea during the heat stress period compared Molasweet (150g/t) to Na-saccharine (300g/t). Dairy cows preferred the Molasweet supplemented feed (Pancosma News Update, 2008).
- From an energy point of view, replacing molasses with maize + Molasweet can be economically viable when molasses is between 15%-20% more expensive than maize.
- Molasweet has a physiological effect by increasing the absorption of glucose, sodium and water in the gastro-intestinal tract of ruminants (McMeniman et al., 2006).
- Immunoactivation markedly disrupts glucose homeostasis, as it is characterized by an increase in glucose usage to support the immune system (Kvidera et al., 2017).
- In lactating dairy cows, LPS activated immune system used approximately 1,092g of glucose in a 720-min period. On a metabolic BW basis, the glucose requirement is approximately 0.66 g/kg of BW75/h (Kvidera et al., 2017).
- Molasweet can improve glucose uptake in calves, both pre- and post-weaning, decreasing the negative effects of weaning on gut integrity (Moran et al., 2014).
- Feeding of Sucram, (same active ingredient as Molasweet) to ruminants, stimulate GLP-2 secretion from intestinal cells. Calves supplemented with Sucram or GLP2 had reduced diarrhea severity and faecal Cryptosporidium parvum oocyst shedding, as well as reduced plasma serum amyloid A concentration (Connor et al., 2017).
