Use
Inclusion limit
Ruminants: 10-20% of diet DM usually recommended as energy feed; above 20% can be detrimental; milk yield or milk fat fell at 15-22% of diet DM [E-S8]. Broilers: early work used >30%, but 40-60% may depress performance or cause diarrhoea; lower rates (<25% DM) generally preferable for poultry [E-S8]. Layers: best performance at 22.5% in one Indian trial [E-S8].
Molasses toxicity at high intake with little roughage (low body temperature, weakness, rapid breathing, blindness, brain damage, linked to thiamine shortage) [E-S8]. Excess potassium can cause nephritis and diarrhoea [E-S8]. Sticky droppings and caked litter in poultry at high levels [E-S8]. High and variable ash lowers energy value [E-S8].
