Alkacid is our unique rumen buffer that helps keep the rumen healthy to maximise performance and health.
It can be used in cattle and dairy diets to:
- To balance high starch diets
- When transitioning on to new diets
- If signs of acidosis are seen
Trial results – cattle
In a recent trial, cattle fed Alkacid gained, on average, +350g/head/day more throughout the transition period.
Key features & benefits
- Combination of rumen buffers, in a honeycomb structure. Means immediate and continuous neutralisation of rumen acid, giving 24 hour protection
- Essential oils. Inhibit growth of starch digesting microbes, meaning pH is more stable and bypass starch is increased
- Spices. Increases water intake (10%) and saliva production (185%), resulting in a greater buffering capacity
