Buffers said to work best when fed properly PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Modern' dairymen are turning to high energy rations to push cattle to their genetic potential. But along with this switch to higher energy feed has come an increase in rumen acids present in the dairy cow’s' digestive systems, especially among those fed ensiled forages and high concentrate levels. Dairy cows with too much acidity sometimes ex perience depressed butterfat tests, reduced feed intake, lower milk production and more infertility, “says Dr. Richard Adams, a dairy nutritionist at Penn State.

Come Early to register as we will sell by sale number. Buffers have been fed m widely varying amounts both in research trials and on the farm. However, they appear to work best when fed at certain levels. One such buffer which has been effective in balancing rumen pH is sodium bicarbonate, a compound which occurs naturally in cows’ saliva. Not enough saliva is secreted to neutralize the excessive acids produced during rumen fermentation when low-fiber, high-energy rations are fed. In these cases, supplemental feeding of sodium bicarbonate 9HORSES HOUSEHOLD Owners should be tried. Dr. Adams says. Dairymen deciding to feed sodium bicarbonate should supply it at a level equal to 0.60 per cent of dry matter intake when conditions warrant its use. “That’s roughly equal to 1 to 1.5 per cent in a concentrate mix ture or finished feed,” Dr. Adams explains. Milk production, butterfat test percentage, dry matter intake and 4 per cent fat corrected milk may improve separately or in combination when buffers are added to problem rations in proper amounts. Some rations are more acid-producing than others. Dr. Adams lists several rations in which buffer feeding may be helpful. Excessive acids ESTATE OF EDWARD STOVER SR.

Gerberich & Hess, Auctioneers Not Responsible for Accidents sometimes occur in cattle fed a total ration containing concentrates and corn silage at a level over 40 per cent of total dry matter intake. Cows fed less than two pounds of forage dry matter per 100 pounds of body weight may be more susceptible to excessive acidity. Buffers may also be of value when forage sub stitutes high-fiber feeds like wet brewers grain provide approximately 20 to 25 per cent of the usual roughage dry matter. High producing cows consuming concentrates at a level exceeding two per cent of their body weight and those suffering from hot, humid weather may also become hyperacidic, especially when little or no TIME: 9:00 A.M. ANTIQUES Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 26,1979 alfalfa or other legume forage is fed. Dairymen should consider feeding sodium bicarbonate in combination with other buffers such as magnesium oxide and calcium car bonate, he adds. Recent university and industry research has revealed in creases in fat-corrected milk when sodium bicarbonate is fed with magnesium oxide. Calcium carbonate may neutralize acids in the lower digestive tract in contrast to sodium bicarbonate’s neutralizing effect in the rumen. Fed in combination, the buffers may correct acid imbalances throughout the digestive system. Calcium carbonate should be supplied at a level needed to provide calcium at 1.8 to 2.0 times the amount of Dairy 4-H meets STOUCHSBURG - The Stouchsburg 4-H Dairy dub met at the home of Dennis Sattazahn on may 18, with l 5 members present.

Nor mally, 1 to 1.5 per cent calcium carbonate in a concentrate when fed with low-calcium roughage is sufficient. To get maximum benefits from magnesium oxide, one should feed enough of it to provide magnesium at a level equal to 0.2 to 0.24 per cent of the ration’s dry matter. This often requires supplying magnesium oxide at a level equal to 0.3 or 0.5 per cent of a concentrate or finished feed, Dr. Adams advises. Responses to buffers may be greatest when cows are in their first four to eight weeks of lactation. Dairymen may want to limit feeding to early lactation cows. members judged two classes of cows.
