In many parts of Africa, livestock farming is both a way of life and a source of livelihood. Yet, farmers often face challenges such as poor feed efficiency, high production costs, and fluctuating animal health. A new solution is transforming how farmers feed their animals: microbial feed supplements.
These organic, science-backed additives — often called probiotics for livestock — are now proving to be game changers in dairy and beef farming across the continent.
What Are Microbial Feed Supplements?
Microbial feed supplements are made from beneficial micro-organisms such as lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and phototrophic bacteria. When introduced to the animal’s digestive system, these microbes help break down tough feed fibers, unlock nutrients, and create a healthier gut environment.
Instead of just feeding animals more, farmers are now feeding them smarter — getting better results from the same or even less feed.
Benefits to the African Farmer
At Molamax, our flagship livestock probiotic — MolaPlus Super Milk Booster — has been tested across farms in Africa and consistently delivers tangible results:
✅ Increases Milk Production by Up to 30%
MolaPlus Super Milk Booster boosts milk yield within 72 hours of use by enhancing digestion and unlocking protein from fibrous feeds.
✅ Improves Feed Utilization
Our microbial products reduce feed wastage by breaking down neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and making nutrients more accessible.
✅ Reduces Cow-Dung Output by Half
Efficient digestion means more feed is absorbed and less passes through as waste — resulting in cleaner sheds and lower maintenance.
✅ Enhances Animal Immunity and Fertility
By supporting the gut and metabolic processes, microbial supplements improve overall animal health and reproductive performance.
Real Impact, Real Returns
For many smallholder and commercial farmers, switching to microbial feeding has translated into:
- Faster growth in beef cattle
- Shortened fattening periods
- Lower reliance on synthetic supplements and commercial feed
- Healthier, more productive animals
How to Use MolaMax Super Milk Booster
Simply offer your cow 60 grams of the booster at every milking session — once, twice, or three times a day depending on your routine. There’s no need to mix it with anything; just place it in the trough and let the cow lick it before giving dairy meal.
The Future of Livestock Nutrition is Microbial
As feed prices continue to rise and pressure mounts to reduce antibiotic use in farming, microbial solutions offer a natural, sustainable, and cost-effective path forward.
Molamax is proud to lead this movement with African-made, lab-tested, and farmer-approved products.
