Molasses Lick Blocks No Longer the Best Choice for Cattle
University of Georgia Study
SweetPro participated in a 2011 study conducted by the University of Georgia at Tifton by Dr. Gary Hill, in collaboration with Dr. Abe Scheaffer working with SweetPro Feeds.
The results give cattle ranchers compelling reasons to switch from molasses blocks to SweetPro's blocks made from dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS).
In a release that went out this week on PRweb titled "Molasses Lick Blocks No Longer the Best Choice for Cattle", the findings from this cow-calf herd comparitive study were presented. Here are some of the results.
"The advantages of the SweetPro cattle blocks included:
• Daily cost per head was less than molasses blocks
• Daily supplement consumption was roughly half of molasses blocks
• Daily cow weight stayed higher than on molasses blocks
• Cows became pregnant faster than on molasses blocks
• Herd pregnancy rate was higher than on molasses blocks
• Daily calf weight gain was higher than when the mother cows were on molasses blocks"

Our thanks to Dr. Gary Hill, Dr. Abe Scheaffer, and to the University of Georgia at Tifton for helping ranchers see the benefit in switching from molasses blocks to SweetPro's advanced lick block products. CLICK HERE to request the research summary.
