INTRODUCTION
A trial was conducted at the Animal and Range Sciences department, North Dakota State University, Fargo, to evaluate the effect of cooked molasses blocks and inclusion of Tasco®on different parameters including total tract digestibility.
RESULTS
CONCLUSION
The inclusion of Tasco®in cooked molasses blocks increased significantly the digestibility of NDF and ADF compared to control Blocks. Total tract organic matter digestion was increased by approximately 10%.
Other in-situ studies conducted at the University of Missouri with ruminally cannulated cows also concluded that Tasco®improved in-situ fiber disappearance.
