MIN-AD is effectively utilized as a buffer and a source of
calcium and magnesium proven to help enhance microbial
efficiency and pH balance in the rumen environment. When
used in conjunction with sodium bicarbonate MIN-AD improves
microbial efficiency that can lead to:
MIN-AD is used in dairy rations as a buffer
and source of Magnesium and Calcium. MIN-AD
provides 61% - 75% more acid-consuming capacity
than sodium-based buffers. Being acid-soluble,
MIN-AD is available as rumen pH fluctuates,
providing rapid buffering and longer-term pH
maintenance in the rumen and lower gastrointestinal
tract.
MIN-AD allows for the replacement of a portion of
sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide in the diet,
decreasing buffer supplement size and offering costs
savings to the producer. When used in conjunction
with sodium bicarbonate, research has shown an
increase of up to 10% in microbial efficiency compared
to a typical magnesium oxide (MgO) and sodium bicarbonate
buffer packs. This combination and resulting ruminal
efficiency, also produces a higher % of ruminally-degraded
protein. Combining the fact that MIN-AD is DCAD neutral,
and provides a highly bioavailable source of magenesium,
makes it a perfect fit for dry cow rations.
Note: MIN-AD is OMRI certified.
