 The Power of Calcium Salts of Fatty Acids

• One of nature's richest energy sources for ruminants.

• The cattle industry's most tested and reliable ruminant fat source is the calcium salt of Fatty Acids.

• Calcium salts of fatty acids have superior handling characteristics

FACT: Negative energy balance occurs when high-producing, early lactation cows cannot consume enough energy from typical rations to compensate for the high level of milk being produced.

Meeting early lactation nutritional needs is critical to:

• Sustaining high milk production

• Maintaining body condition

• Subsequent reproductive performance

Challenges with conventional early lactation feeding strategies:

• Use animal fat or oilseeds to boost ration energy density. These energy sources are rumen degradable and high levels can compromise rumen function. Depressed rumen function results in depressed intake, reduced nutrient digestibility, and lower milk components.

• Feed more grain. This strategy results in feeding too much grain in relation to forage intake, which predisposes cows to acidosis and laminitis.

SOLUTION: Enertia
Feeding ENERTIA, a rumen inert fat source, in early lactation rations can effectively and economically boost ration energy density without the adverse effects associated with conventional feeding strategies.

Enertia ruminant fat source is a high-energy dairy feed ingredient marketed by the Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), a world-leading supplier of ingredients to the feed industry. Enertia is a source of calcium salts of palm oil fatty acids that is highly digestible in the small intestine.

Features and Benefits

• Calcium Salt of Palm Oil Fatty Acids - Provides a high-energy source which is highly digestible in the small intestine.

• Consistent Quality - Because ADM is directly involved in palm oil processing, procurement of consistent, high-quality palm oil at competitive pricing is ensured.

• Exceptional Energy Density - The inclusion of ENERTIA in lactation rations provides a high level of energy. ENERTIA provides 5.07Mcal/kg.

• Excellent Handling Properties - ENERTIA’s flowable, granular form mixes well with feed ingredients typically used in dairy rations. Weather fluctuations (hot and cold temperature extremes) and standard feed processing procedures do not affect ENERTIA

Feeding Recommendations

Feed at the rate of 113.5 to 454 grams per head per day to supplement the energy needs of high-producing cows. ENERTIA can also be fed to other energy-deficient cows.

ENERTIA should be fed to cows in a diluted form and gradually introduced to cows that have not previously been fed calcium salts of palm oil fatty acids.

Enertia is a high energy feed ingredient that can be included in the ration to meet the supplemental energy needs of high producing dry or lactating dairy cows. Target feeding rate for Enertia will range from 3.5g to 454g per cow daily. Enertia should be fed in a diluted form and introduced gradually to cows that are not familiar with the odor of calcium salts of palm oil fatty acids.
