Reformulate NovaMeal Into Your Ration & Reduce Ration Cost
NovaMeal is a high quality bypass protein with a low level of unsaturated fat. It delivers more digestible RUP and essential amino acids than many other protein supplements. By reformulating with NovaMeal you can reduce ration cost.
SOUTH DAKOTA Original Ration vs. NovaMeal Ration: Shows a 18¢ savings per head per day by reformulating 5.68 pounds of NovaMeal into the ration by removing bypass SBM and DDGS and slightly reducing SBM. This was achieved due to the high RUP and RUP digestibility of NovaMeal, though urea was also added to ensure adequate rumen degradable protein. Cottonseed was also reduced marginally; however, soy hulls and energy booster were added to increase fiber and energy from fat, respectively.
SOUTHWEST NovaMeal Ration vs. Next Best Alternative: Shows an 10¢ increase per head per day on feed costs to replace NovaMeal in the diet. To replace NovaMeal and still obtain the same nutrient flow, the ration would need to add in rumen protected methionine and bypass soybean meal, increase canola meal and sorghum silage along with other slight ingredient modifications.

CALIFORNIA Original Ration vs. NovaMeal Ration: Shows a 11¢ savings per head per day by reformulating 3.3 pounds of NovaMeal into the ration by replacing nearly half the canola meal and other slight reformulation adjustments to the overall ration. Another example shows a 9¢ savings per head per day by reformulating 3.25 pounds of NovaMeal into the ration, completely removing canola meal and protein pairing NovaMeal with soybean meal.
