Digital tools for better health and higher milk output

Many dairy producers find it challenging to maximise milk production without incurring ruminal acidosis. Subacute ruminal acidosis is a metabolic disease that frequently affects high-producing dairy cattle, given the concentration of grains such as corn, barley and wheat in their diets. The rumen is a complex ecosystem of bacteria and protozoa that enables carbohydrate fermentation, a process that produces volatile fatty acids and lactic acid. Cattle that consume a high proportion of barley a
