And raw sugar, alcohol and molasses are not only exported but sustain important national industries in brewing, distilling, canning and confectionary.
Another group of seven goats received only the mixture of molasses and oat grains as a placebo.
The high grain ration initially comprised 50 % rolled sorghum and 50 % feedlot meal mix (lucerne, sorghum, barley, molasses, macronutrients, no urea or antibiotics).
An additional 14 mills would produce only molasses or other cane by-products.
Chlamydospores were mixed with molasses and oat grains as previously described.
Experimental animals were trained to eat the oat/sugar cane molasses mix, which was used as a vehicle for the chlamydospore treatment as described above.
Cane-tops, leaves and molasses, in crude or processed form, are important sources of animal foodstuffs.
Micro-organisms were multiplied by transferring 50 liters of the raw material to another tank (500 liters), where 20 liters of sugarcane molasses were added to 430 liters of water.
