Alka-lac+ is a coarse molasses coated buffered antacid
Alka-lac+ is a high-performance buffered antacid designed to avoid and minimize risks associated with high grain diets, slug feeding and subclinical acidosis.
Alka-lac+ helps maintain optimum rumen function and milk production.
Alka-lac+ helps maintain optimum rumen function and milk production.
Alka-lac+ neutralizes excess acidity resulting from rapid fermentation of high concentrate rations and slug feeding. Everyday use of Alka-lac+, along with sound feeding practices, helps maintain an efficient rumen in addition to the cow’s ability to properly digest and absorb feed.
Alka-lac+ molasses coating delivers a product with superb palatability.
Unlike other products, Alka-lac+ can be feed “free choice”, without fear of bad taste and/or chemical aggressiveness, thus obtaining optimum results from animals’ self regulation: not only do they feed the amount of Alka-lac+ they need, but they also feed when they feel the need for it!
Every day use of buffered antacids can help with:
- Milk production and fat content - up to 3.5% production increase, and 1 point in milk fat
- Feed Intake and efficiency - buffers can increase feed intake by 2%, and help in better bacterial digestions by keeping optimum rumen pH
- Adaptation to heat – ruminant feed intake and, therefore, milk production, can decrease in as much as 25% under heat stress. Buffers help combat heat stress
- Response to slug feeding - feeding buffers can help maintain rumen pH when cows are slug fed with grain in the milking parlor, or with acidic feeds such as corn silage
