MooFat Champion

Boost milk yield and energy during peak demand

MooFat Champion is a high-energy feed supplement formulated to support cows through the most demanding stages of the season, from post-calving to peak production and mating. It provides a concentrated source of rumen-protected fat that delivers energy efficiently without upsetting rumen function or fibre digestion.

Designed for use in New Zealand pasture-based systems, MooFat Champion increases milk yield and milk fat, and improves body condition and fertility when feed energy supply can’t keep up with cow output.

Scientifically supported benefits and features:

  • Provides a dense, efficient energy source for high-performing cows
  • Supports milk production and reproductive recovery post-calving
  • Helps maintain body condition and reduce negative energy balance
  • Powder that’s easy to handle and mix
  • Rumen-protected for safe use in all feeding systems
  • Includes PFAD, Omega 9, Omega 6 and vitamin E
  • Suitable for inclusion in meal blends, TMRs, or direct feeding

Why supplement with rumen fat?

In early lactation, cows often go into energy deficit as milk production increases faster than feed intake. Adding a protected fat source like MooFat Champion helps bridge this gap without the digestive disruption caused by unprotected fats or excess starch. The result is better feed efficiency, higher production, and healthier, more resilient cows.

MooFat Champion daily dose rate

    • 100-200g per cow per day, depending on production level and feed base

 

Each 25kg bag of MooFat Champion provides a concentrated source of energy that can be tailored to your herd’s seasonal and production requirements.

What the research shows

  • A meta-analysis of 32 peer-reviewed dairy cow studies found that saturated free fatty acid supplements containing at least 80% palmitic acid increased NDF digestibility, milk yield, milk fat yield, milk protein yield and energy-corrected milk compared with diets without supplemental fat. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2021-20699)

 

  • An early lactation dairy cow study found that supplementing palmitic acid at 1.5% of dietary dry matter increased energy-corrected milk during both the fresh and peak periods, with higher milk yield, fat-corrected milk and milk component yields also reported during peak lactation. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2018-14976)

 

  • A mid-lactation study involving Holstein and Jersey cows found that a palmitic acid-enriched supplement increased milk fat yield and improved dry matter and fibre digestibility, while dry matter intake, milk yield, body condition score and bodyweight change were not significantly altered. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2020-18232)

 

  • A dairy cow study testing a fat supplement containing 84% palmitic acid found that milk yield was unchanged, while dry matter intake was lower and feed efficiency increased in high-producing cows. The high-palmitic treatment also increased the amount of total and 16-carbon fatty acids digested compared with an unsupplemented diet. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2013-7341)
Limits

These studies examine saturated free fatty acid or high-palmitic acid supplements in dairy cow diets, not MooFat Champion itself.

Study details and links

What was tested

Research on supplemental saturated free fatty acids and high-palmitic acid fat sources in lactating dairy cows, including supplements containing 80% or more C16:0 and feeding strategies across early, peak and mid lactation.

Milk yield, energy-corrected and fat-corrected milk, milk fat and protein yield, dry matter intake, feed efficiency, dry matter and fibre digestibility, fatty acid digestion, bodyweight, body condition and selected measures of energy use.

 

 

 

  • The published trials support the use of high-palmitic and saturated free fatty acid supplementation as a dairy nutrition strategy, but they should not be read as direct performance trials of MooFat Champion.
