Use and Application
Raffinate is an excellent source of energy and a good source of protein and some essential minerals. In growing and finishing diets it can be added in total mixed rations or blended with other liquid ingredients for a liquid feed. For beef cows and back rounding it can be top-dressed to improve palatability of poor hay or corn stalks.

Storage and Handling:
Raffinate can be stored in an un-insulated tank, with no additional heating required for pumping. Pump size should be a 2 HP or larger with minimum tube size of 2 inches.
