Solution

Megalac, it comprises of calcium salts of palm oil fatty acids (44% palmitic, 40% oleic, 9.5% linoleic and 6.5% other fatty acids),which has 8 to 10% calcium and about 85.0% fat.

1. It does not interfere with the animal\'s body function.

2. The energy gained by the addition of Megalac is utilized in milk production.

3. It improves the animal\'s reproductive health and also its other normal body conditions because fo the presence of calcium in Megalac, which is good for the animal’s digestive tract.

4. In the case of other fat sources, with the increase of these fats in the animal feed there is a linear decrease in the milk fat percentage which is not observed with Megalac.
