    GOLDSTAR 98

    GOLDSTAR is a rumen stable fat in a prill form for high performance dairy cows, made from fractionated palm oil fatty acids: entirely vegetable, without a carrier, 99% fat content.

    MAXIMISING ENERGY AND NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY

    GOLDSTAR 98 is produced when palm oil is fractioned for use in human food. The fatty acid profile shows a C16 content of 98%. In the rumen GOLDSTAR 98 is 'protected' from breakdown and therefore not utilized by the bacteria but absorbed by the animal.

    Most high C16 products available to the dairy farmer have a content of around 85% palmitic acid (C1 with a content of 98% Goldstar 98 is able to provide substantially more C16:0 just when the cow needs it most.

    The unusually high level of C16 in Goldstar 98 means that the cow is presented with a readily available supply of the major saturated fatty acid present in milk. This can have significant beneficial effect on butterfat levels and so farm profitability.

    Goldstar 98 can be applied as a top dressing or as an ingredient in the feed mixture.

    EARLY LACTATION: 1st-4th week after calving. 300-400g/cow/day

    PEAK LACTATION: 5th-16th week after calving. 400-500g/cow/day

    TOTAL FAT CONTENT IS A MIN of 99%

    Typical fatty acid composition in %

    C14:0 Myristic acid

    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.
