PROSERSUR Molasses fulfill the requirements established by rule NTE INEN 1701-1989-04 for Zootechnical Food: Molasses.
Uses:
- Aquaculture
Its high sugar content helps with the growth of positive sucrose bacteria. Therefore, it serves for: bioremediation of soils, bioremediation of water, control ammonia and nitrites.
- Production of animal feed: poultry, swine, cattle, shrimp:
It makes it more appetizing, settles the dust and works as a binder.
- Ethanol production:
Used as a supply for the production of ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol.
- Cattle raising, beef and dairy cattle:
As an attractant mixed with food or grass. Likewise, molasses can be used as a preservative in the silage.
- Production of yeasts for the bakery industry:
It is used for fermentation in the yeast production process.
