Rapidly fermenting carbohydrate sources are ingredients such as feeds containing high starch content or easily digestible sugars. As such carbohydrates are rapidly fermented, large amounts of short-chain fatty acids and gas formation can occur. This can lead to a rapid production of acid in the rumen, which can cause the rumen pH to drop rapidly. Sudden pH changes can overwhelm the ability of rumen microorganisms to maintain balance and disrupt the normal functioning of the digestive system.
Low rumen pH (acidity) can negatively affect rumen microorganisms, which can affect the animal’s digestive system and lead to health problems. Acid accumulation can also damage the rumen wall, which can negatively affect the overall health of the animal.
Therefore, nutrition and feeding programs of ruminant animals must be carefully managed to maintain rumen pH balance. It is important to use fast-fermenting carbohydrate sources in a controlled manner and adjust feeding programs in accordance with rumen health.
Our product named NFS BUFFER ALG provides more stable feed consumption and productivity by eliminating the negative effects of sudden pH changes in the rumen dynamics of rapidly fermenting carbohydrate sources in ruminant animals.
Thanks to the different effectiveness periods of the buffering substances it contains, it ensures that the rumen remains balanced for a long time.
