    Palatable blend of cane molasses, the black sticky liquid co-product of sugar refining and nutritious liquids from the Scottish distillery industry. Scotmol provides a well balanced profile of nutrients and is therefore suitable for a wide range of uses for both cattle and sheep.

    An excellent source of protein it is likeable in energy and palatability to standard molasses and will increase fibre intake together and improving digestion efficiency in ruminants. It reduces dust in a mixture, aids pelleting and is a good source of minerals.

    Feeding rates are estimates, and other factors, such as animal health and environment, can have a greater impact on how animals perform. There is no guarantee that animals will perform as expected if fed the suggested rates. Rations should be balanced to provide enough energy and protein for animals, and they should include enough forage to keep the rumen healthy. Animals also need access to fresh water at all times.
