Calcified seaweed (CS) based products have been proposed as an alternative ruminal pH buffer to sodium bicarbonate. It has reported that magnesium can aid in control too, especially those natural marine forms. We assessed the rumen capacity and milk production composition of two CS: Acid Buf (AB) compared with M12 (a enriched CS) on grazing dairy cows a replicated Latin Square design involving ...

The objective of this study was to determine whether supplementing organic acids can prevent incidences of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in beef heifers fed a diet consisting of 8% barley silage and 92% barley grain-based concentrate (DM basis). Ten ruminally cannulated Hereford crossbred heifers (484 ± 25 kg BW) were used in a replicated 5 × 5 Latin square design with 14-d periods including...
