Rumen Acid Regulator: Bloating & Hoof Health Shield
Maintain Ideal Rumen pH & Eliminate Metabolic Disorders
The Hidden Cost of Rumen Acidosis
When ruminants consume high-energy rations, rumen pH can drop below 5.5, leading to Sub-Acute Rumen Acidosis (SARA). This condition doesn’t just reduce feed intake—it triggers a chain reaction of bloating, laminitis (hoof problems), and decreased milk fat. Our Rumen Acid Regulator provides a multi-stage buffering system to keep the rumen in the optimal “Safe Zone.”
Why Modern Herds Need More Than Sodium Bicarb
Traditional sodium bicarbonate acts fast but lasts briefly. Our regulator uses a Timed-Release Buffering Matrix that provides sustained pH stability throughout the day.
✅ Hoof & Lamellar Protection
By preventing the release of endotoxins during acidotic spikes, we stop the primary cause of laminitis, ensuring cows stay mobile and productive.
✅ Anti-Frothy Bloat Action
Contains specialized surface-active agents that break down gas bubbles in the rumen, preventing dangerous bloating episodes caused by lush pastures or high grain.
The Link Between pH and Profit
A stable rumen pH is essential for fiber-digesting bacteria. When pH is regulated, cellulolytic bacteria thrive, increasing Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) digestibility. This translates directly to a higher Energy Balance, better body condition scores, and a significant reduction in veterinary costs related to metabolic diseases.
Strategic Metabolic Support
Cud-Chewing Activity
Stimulates natural rumination and salivation, the animal’s own natural defense against acidity.
Milk Fat Synthesis
Optimizes the Acetate-to-Propionate ratio, providing the precursors needed for high milk fat percentage.
Liver Health
Reduces the metabolic load on the liver by neutralizing excess organic acids before they enter the bloodstream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this prevent hoof problems?
A: Acidosis causes certain bacteria to die and release histamines/endotoxins into the blood, which restrict blood flow to the hooves. By stabilizing pH, we stop this process at the source.
Q: Can it be used in automated feeding systems?
A: Yes. It is a free-flowing granular/powder form that mixes easily with TMR or concentrates.
