Dairy Features & Benefits

Replace part of your sodium bicarbonate or sesquicarbonate buffer with the equivalent quantity of MIN-AD and realize the following benefits:

 

  • Improved Milk Production - Research has shown that a MIN-AD plus sodium bicarbonate buffer outperforms straight sodium bicarbonate, increasing both mean milk production and fat. (Please see our research bulletins.)

  • Acidosis Management - With 61% to 75% more acid-consuming capacity than sodium-based buffers, MIN-AD is a more effective buffer pack under subacute acidosis conditions. In addition, while bicarbonates are water soluble, MIN-AD is acid-soluble, making it available when rumen pH drops for several hours post-feeding, thereby improving acidosis management.

  • Increased Microbial Efficiency - Research has shown that a MIN-AD plus sodium bicarbonate combination increases rumen microbial efficiency by about 10% compared to the typical MgO plus sodium bicarbonate buffer pack.

  • Added Minerals - Mg Solubility Results - An effective source of calcium and magnesium, MIN-AD can reduce the amount of your supplement by 2-3 oz. when it is used to partially replace sodium-based buffers.
