Aim: To improve complete diet homogenization and palatability. To extend the duration of the unifeed in order to utilize more efficiently the wagon storing and mixing capacity.

The sugars and mineral salts contained in the molasses exert a preservative action. Molasses is well suited as a binding substance for dry and pressed fodder and avoids the formation of dust in finely ground cereals or protein meals. Molasses is an energy feed that improves the palatability of the unifeed. Traditionally, molasses had been used to provide energy, balance the diet and make it more palatable. Here we propose the use of percentages from 5 to 10% of the ration to: 1) make the ration homogeneous and attractive 2) allow to extend the duration of the ration to 2-3 days.
