EVALUATION OF BUFFERING CAPACITY OF NOVEL MULTI-COMPONENT BUFFER (CRB ADVANCE) AGAINST TRADITIONAL RUMEN BUFFERS IN DAIRY COWS

This study evaluates the buffering capacity of different rumen buffers namely Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Oxide, Marine Algae,and CRB Advance based on rumen pH stability in high-yielding dairy cows. Rumen pH was monitored every two hours using rumenocentesis over a 24-hour period. The results showed that CRB Advance, a multi-component buffer system, maintained rumen pH within the optimal physiological range for a significantly longer duration than conventional buffers. CRB Advance demonstrated superior pH stabilization, with additional microbial and digestive health benefits due to the inclusion of marine-derived polysaccharides.This study investigates the efficacy of CRB Advance, a novel marine-derived multi-buffer formulation, in maintaining rumen pH and preventing Sub-Acute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) in high-yielding dairy cows compared to traditional buffers such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate with MgO, and a commercial market leader. Results show that CRB Advance exhibits superior acid-neutralizing capacity and maintains rumen pH above the SARA threshold (5.5) for 24 hours, outperforming other buffers.
