Palm Oil Dairy Feed Catching On
 ✖  |
Silver Palm from Silver Maple Equipment is a low-cost, bypass fat for dairy cows. The premium quality palm oil is a fractionated, long chain, fatty acid in an energy-dense bead form. It is highly stable in all weather conditions with a melting point of around 137 degrees.
“It’s easy to handle and mix, and is free from dust and objectionable odor, making it highly palatable,” says James Huber, Silver Maple Equipment. “I started selling it in 2019 on a local basis here in Lancaster County. Since then, I have shipped it as far as Wisconsin.”
Huber is a dairy farmer himself and was looking for a low-cost feed supplement for his herd. He notes that bypass fats are considered generic or commodity-type products. He admits that a lot of farmers care less about what they feed and more about the cost.
“Dairy farmers can often save quite a bit of money with Silver Palm compared to other bypass fats,” says Huber.
He suggests that Silver Palm is both price competitive and a quality product. His supplier is a large company in India that also supplies food companies. Finding the right supplier was the difficult part.
“It took quite a bit of work to learn the importing process and find a good supplier,” says Huber. “Currently the demand for palm oil is exceeding the supply.”
Silver Palm is available in 55-lb. bags and 1,400-lb. totes. Prices are available upon request.
