ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE March 2022 35 MAINTAINING HERD HEALTH FOR A MORE PRODUCTIVE WORLD Maximise milk yields without the risk of SARA Diets required to support high-yielding dairy cows are high in starch and low in fibre, increasing the risk of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). OmyaFeed® C MgO is a highly reactive, palatable feed material made from micronized ground calcium carbonate and MgO, which buffers rumen acidosis and provides a readily available source of calcium and magnesium nutrition. OmyaFeed C MgO can be used as a preventive or curative solution, correcting acidosis quickly and maintaining optimal pH for longer than sodium bicarbonates. Just 130g of OmyaFeed C MgO per cow per day is required for effective rumen health, compared with more than double the amount of sodium bicarbonate/calcium carbonate mix. This saves money and creates space in the rations for further feed materials. OmyaFeed C MgO is very cost effective at just 6p/cow/day For more information visit our website.
