Apple cider vinegar is acetic acid. When broken down in the rumen, it produces three volatile fatty acids that provide the “gasoline” for energy to every cell in the body. When fed with molasses, its an excellent energy and metabolism booster. Just 2 oz. per day is enough to provide a therapeutic and metabolic benefit. It’s an effective, natural, inexpensive insurance policy to protect the health of your herd.

Benefits include: More information on Farmers.coop.
