Canola Chaff for Dairy Cattle

 

High-Quality Fibre That Supports Milk Production

Our canola chaff is produced from locally grown canola bales, which are made primarily from the stems of the canola plant, along with the remaining leaves and pods left after harvest. Traditionally baled as a supplementary feed for cattle, canola chaff is a cost-effective roughage source that provides effective fibre, moderate protein, and digestible energy.

 

Whether used as a supplement to existing forage or as part of a Total Mixed Ration (TMR), canola chaff provides consistent quality and excellent palatability, helping maintain healthy feed intake throughout the year.

 

Benefits of Canola Chaff

 

  • Supports healthy rumen function and efficient digestion.
  • Encourages cud chewing and saliva production to help maintain a stable rumen pH.
  • Provides effective fibre that promotes healthy rumen fermentation.
  • Supports acetate production, the primary building block for milk butterfat.
  • Can help maintain or improve butterfat percentages when fed as part of a balanced ration.
  • Highly palatable and readily accepted by dairy cattle.
  • A cost-effective alternative or supplement to traditional roughage sources.
  • Provides a reliable source of fibre and digestible energy throughout the year.

 

 

Supporting Butterfat Production

 

Healthy rumen fermentation is essential for high-quality milk production. As cows digest fibre, the rumen produces volatile fatty acids, particularly acetate, which is the main precursor used to produce milk butterfat. By supplying highly effective fibre and supporting optimal rumen function, canola chaff helps create the ideal conditions for consistent milk quality and butterfat production.

 

Locally Produced. Consistent. Economical.

At Equusnola, our canola chaff is produced from locally grown canola, providing dairy farmers with a sustainable, reliable, and economical feeding solution. With consistent quality and excellent nutritional value, it's a practical choice for supporting herd health, feeding efficiency, and milk production.
