Rumen Buffers

Ensure your animals stay healthy with Britmilk’s selection of rumen stabilisers, myco-toxin binders and much more.

Rumen Buffers

Stabilizer

STABILIZER’S powerful and long lasting buffering effect is due to its unique combination of calcified seaweed, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, live yeast and stabilised whole yeast. It also contains Tidal Gold (green seaweed) which is a unique source of micronutruients to feed the Rumen bacteria.

The synergy of the ingredients will enhance performance of all ruminants by correcting clinical and sub-clinical acidosis thereby increasing the numbers of rumen organisms which result in increased fibre digestion and ultimately more HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE PROTEIN entering the lower gut.

STABILIZERS: using calcified seaweed (calcareous marine algae) with its unique Honeycomb structure allows for a slow breakdown within the Rumen and provides over twice the buffering capacity compared to the many other Buffering products.

STABILIZERS: unique combination of live and stabilised whole yeast will continually mop up unwanted oxygen within the rumen therefore helping to maintain an anaerobic environment which will aid efficiency of all Rumen Microorganism.

Metabolites from both the live and stabilised yeast will stimulate lactate fermenting bacteria within the rumen, thus helping to neutralise acid and maintain a higher pH for optimal digestion of fibre and overall Rumen efficiency.

Benefits of maintaining a more stable rumen pH in both dairy and beef animals are four fold:

  • Improved performance
  • Less foot problems
  • Improved feed efficiency
  • Healthier animals

“Healthy animals are always more productive animals”

Symptoms of acidosis and SARA in dairy/beef animals

  • Cud balls/twitching of tails
  • Diarrhoea and /or undigested grains/fibre in faeces
  • Foamy faeces often containing gas bubbles
  • Laminitis
  • Low milk fat
  • Variable feed intake with potential weight loss and poor coats.


Feeding Recommendations

  • High Yielding Dairy Cows 150-175g per head per day
  • Medium Yielding Dairy Cows 125-150g per head per day
  • Intensive Beef Animals (Ad-Lib) 100-120g per head per day
  • Semi-Intensive Beef Animals 75g per head per day

Rumen guard

A natural buffer made from a combination of calcified seaweed, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and green seaweed meal.

Rumen Guards unique combination gives the quick buffering action of sodium carbonate and bicarbonate plus the added advantage of prolonged and superior acid absorbency of calcified seaweed over the critical pH range of 5-7.

Rumen Guard also enhances rumen microbial activity due to the release of micro nutrients( chromium, strontium, selenium, nickel, germanium, bromine, copper, zinc, cobalt, iodine and many others) in a highly bio-available form after its buffering action has been completed.

Ideal for high yielding dairy cows and beef animals on high inclusion rate cereal diets.

When to use;

  • Silages with a high acid buurden (low pHs)
  • High yeilding cows on cereal based diets this can result in increased acid burden in the rumen leading to inefficient forage utilisation.
  • Intensive beef systems on high starch diets.
  • Optimising silage digestion by maintaining a more stable pH suitable for more efficient rumen function.

 

Feeding Recommendations

  • High Yielding Dairy Cows 125-150g per head per day
  • Medium Yielding Dairy Cows 100-125g per head per day
  • Intensive Beef Animals (Ad-Lib) 100g per head per day
  • Semi-Intensive Beef Animals 75g
