Understanding animal nutrition is essential to rear healthy and productive cows, sheep and goats. Amidst rising costs and price-sensitive consumers, dairy farmers must ensure their herd is healthy and productive. Musim Mas’ MaxiFat® range is designed to address that, providing the right mix of high-quality fats.
Key takeaways
- Fats are an essential part of livestock diets, alongside carbohydrates and proteins. For dairy cows, sheep and goats, the right fat intake improves energy supply, which leads to higher milk and butterfat yields and better fertility.
- Dairy cows need high-fat feed, but not all feed fats are equal. Some high-fat feeds can damage the rumen. Rumen-protected fats are designed to deliver the energy without that risk.
- MaxiFat® is Musim Mas’s range of rumen-protected fats. It’s designed to improve milk quality, butterfat content, body conditioning and fertility.
- The range covers different feeding needs. It runs from products with 99% free fatty acids to balancing triglycerides. All are built on high-quality C16 (palmitic) fatty acids.
- MaxiFat® comes from a supplier with independently verified sustainability credentials. Musim Mas has been an RSPO member since 2004 and was the first palm oil major verified against the Palm Oil Innovation Group (POIG) standards, in 2019.

Why Are Fats Essential for Animal Nutrition?
Together with carbohydrates and proteins, fats make up an essential component of nutrition in the diet of mammals. Fats are made up of fatty acids and take two primary forms, unsaturated or saturated.
In addition to herd health, feed with the right fat intake can help improve energy supply and productivity, resulting in higher milk and butterfat productivity and improved fertility.
For dairy-producing cows, high-fat feed is necessary. However, not all fat for feed are equal. Some high-fat feeds in dry matter can damage the digestive tract or rumen. Therefore, Musim Mas’ MaxiFat® line features rumen-protected fat.
