Healthy rumen function is the base for every ruminant, allowing dairy cows to thrive at peak performance.
Their success depends on proper rumen fermentation, and subsequent intestinal digestion, to provide all the nutrients required for sustainable milk production. However, modern dairy cows face many challenges regarding their digestive tract. Most of these challenges are related to feed and feed management practices that aim for maximum performance.
The Mervit BupH portfolio targets the different digestive challenges faced by dairy cows.
It is important to have a well-balanced mixed buffer built to provide healthy rumen fermentation and prevent hindgut acidosis.
Formulated to deliver a time-balanced buffer, Mervit BupH outperforms traditional fast-acting buffers by also supplying a slower reacting agent to ensure part of the buffer enters the hindgut to support the pH levels. Next to its buffering capacity, Mervit BupH Steady contains Vitanox to strengthen intestinal integrity.
Rumen acidosis increases endotoxins in the digestive tract, which can compromise the intestinal wall, allowing endotoxins to enter the bloodstream and cause inflammation in dairy cows.
Mervit BupH Protect addresses this with a dual-action approach: Vitanox supports intestinal integrity and reduces oxidative stress, while Vitafix Spectrum binds mycotoxins and endotoxins, reducing their entry into the bloodstream. Together, these actions help reduce acidosis, strengthen the intestinal barrier, and lower endotoxin-related inflammation.
Rumen pH impacts volatile fatty acid production and milk fat synthesis.
In highly fermentable diets with unsaturated fats, low rumen pH can hinder bio-hydrogenation, leading to bioactive fatty acids that suppress milk fat production. Mervit BupH FAT+ combines buffering components to regulate rumen pH and an active ingredient to reduce bioactive fatty acid buildup. This helps prevent milk fat depression in diets rich in unsaturated fats, protecting milk fat production and minimizing financial losses.
