GrunFeed (Calcium Soap)

Introduction

  • Calcium Soap as a feed additive.
  • A rumen bypass fat that is made especially for high milk-yielding dairy ruminants (animals with 4 stomachs) such as cows, goats and sheep’s.
  • Average additional production of milk per day for a ruminant fed with calcium soap yields an approximately 20-30% of extra milk.

Our Product Coverage

Dairy cows are ruminant animals. This means that these animals have a unique digestive system made up of 4 stomach compartments, each compartment plays a specific role in aiding digestion. The rumen and the reticulum are primarily for eating and breaking down food into smaller pieces, whereas the omasum and the abomasum are primarily used for digesting food.

The combination of rumen protection, high digestibility in the lower gut and efficient energy use explain the superior Net Energy of Lactation (NEL) value associated with a calcium-based product. Calcium Soap is proven to supply high energy for milk production.

Properties

  • Contains 84% Fat, 9% Calcium, Fiber 3% and 4% Moisture.
  • The calcium soap product is tack-free, non-cohesive, have low dust content, stable from oxidative rancidity, can be easily transported and mixed in feed rations (by simple blending with other ingredients).
  • Test shows Calcium Soap does not interfere with rumen metabolism by coating the fibrous material within the rumen, or inhibit the action of rumen bacteria at optimal rumen pH. It bypasses the rumen (ideal pH>6) but is broken down in the abomasum (pH2.5) to release the fat and calcium for digestion. 
  • The combination of rumen protection, high digestibility in the lower gut and efficient energy use explain the superior Net Energy of Lactation (NEL) value associated with a calcium based product. Calcium Soap is proven to supply high energy for milk production.
  • In the acidic environment of the abomasum (4th stomach), Calcium Soap dissociates from the fatty acids, and this allows the fatty acids to be digested and converted into energy.

Product Analysis

Calcium Soap – MOA Certificate

GrunFeed Additive

GrunFeed is added into the daily consumption feed of the ruminants at the rate of 10% from the composition per serving. The mixture is then combined with the current feed and served to the daily routine depending on the number of times per feeding process.

Average Feed Required     : 200g/day
Current Production of Milk  : 2 liters/day
Projected New Production  : 2.8 liters/day

Average Feed Required     : 500g/day
Current Production of Milk  : 10 liters/day
Projected New Production   : 14 liters/day
