Recommended daily feed rates (per head basis)

LactoBoost can be fed as part of a TMR.

• Milking Cows: Up to 9 (typically 6)kg

• Dry Cows: Up to 2.5 kg (Not recommended 3 weeks precalving)*

• Replacement Heifers: Up to 2.5 kg and up to 10% of the DMI

• Growing Cattle: Up to 2.5 kg and up to 15% of the DMI

• Finishing Cattle: Up to 8 kg and up to 20% of the DMI

• Suckler Cows: Up to 4 (typically 2)kg

• Ewes and Rams: Up to 0.5 (typically 0.25)kg

• Hoggets and Lambs: Up to 0.5 kg and up to 10% of the DMI

*LactoBoost has a high sodium content so check dry cow ration dietary cation anion balance (DCAB).

DMI = dry matter intake

• LactoBoost is delivered in 29 tonne liquid tankers and is available UK wide, all year around.

• Tanks should be built to hold and dispatch bulk liquids. A 4-inch diameter pipe work is adequate to handle this liquid.

• Tanks should be well maintained and cleaned out regularly to prevent bacterial contamination and fermentation of Lactoboost.

• Mixing of whey permeate with other liquids (molasses etc.) may cause
secondary fermentation, potentially reducing the nutritive value and creating an odour/taint. Hence prior
to the first delivery it is highly recommended that the container / tank be cleaned thoroughly.

• The high concentration of Lactose in LactoBoost may start to settle out after 3 days of delivery depending
upon ambient temperature. The product should be agitated or circulated at least once a week, to ensure
consistency as a layer of lactose sediment may build up in the tank which can solidify, for this reason we
also recommend a load is fed within three weeks of delivery.

LactoBoost is a co-product from the processing of milk for cheese and whey protein product manufacture.
The whey permeate that remains after cheese manufacture is ultra-filtrated to remove the majority of the
whey protein and some minerals. This leaves LactoBoost a very high lactose sugar liquid.

Whey permeate is a FEMAS assured (or a recognised equivalent) product. Whey permeate is listed under
number 8.21.1 in the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials.
