BEWI-FATRIX® Anionic

Die Herausforderung:

For dairy cows:
In recent years, many dairy farmers have already been intensively involved with the DCAB concept (DCAB: dietary-cation-anion-balance) in dry period feeding. It is known that a low DCAB in the dry period can help prevent milk fever. The effect or success in dairy cows is often measured by urine pH or its reduction. However, pH is a very slow responder to dietary DCAB adjustment. The true effect of the ration on acid-base balance can be better assessed by using urinary net acid-base excretion (NABE). A short-term metabolic acidosis in the blood activates mechanisms for calcium release from the skeleton. Due to the metabolically induced, higher calcium excretion via the kidneys, an adapted, higher calcium supply is important at the same time. However, precise knowledge of the DCAB values of the ration and a good assessment of the ration and the feed intake of the cows are crucial here.

For sows:
Many sow farms have to deal with various challenges around birth, such as a prolonged birth duration, an increased number of piglets born dead and an increased incidence of MMA. The cause is often a calcium dysfunction in connection with an excessively high cation-anion balance (CAB) and an excessively high urine pH value.
