Energy Booster® MERGE is a rumen-inert fat supplement containing 99% total fatty acids (TFAs). Manufactured in Paris, Illinois, it’s a small particle prill that’s highly palatable and digestible, and it can be top-dressed or blended in a ration. Just over 50% of the TFAs are Palmitic (C16:0), helping achieve higher butterfat yield, by taking advantage of cow’s natural tendency to divert more of the TFAs toward milk fat. Stearic (C18:0) and Oleic (C18:1) are included to provide the 18 carbon TFAs early-lactation high-milk cows needed to maximize energy corrected milk and maintain body condition. Including C18:1 Oleic at 10% helps ensure good digestibility.
