Bufer Gold
The feeding diet of high-yielding cows often contains an insufficient amount of structural fiber or an excess of easily digestible carbohydrates.
Such situations negatively affect the function of the rumen and lead to an increase in the production of lactic acid in it and a decrease in the pH level in the rumen. If the saliva that is produced is not enough to counteract the increased level of acidity, and the pH level in the rumen falls below 5.5, subclinical acidosis of the rumen occurs.
Acidosis of the rumen
Rumen acidosis is one of the most common problems in modern dairy farming and occurs in many farms where the diet is dominated by concentrated
forages and carbohydrates. It causes a decrease in food intake, deterioration of digestion and loss of productivity due to an increase in the need for energy to maintain metabolism; the body's immune reactions are disturbed, fertility decreases, additional problems with hooves (laminitis) arise.
To prevent acidosis of the rumen, as a rule, sodium bicarbonate is used, which acts as a kind of buffer. However, such measures have only a temporary effect, since sodium bicarbonate is highly soluble and is quickly consumed by the cow.
The White Line + company developed Bufer Gold as a more effective alternative to sodium bicarbonate. Studies confirm the effectiveness of Rupromin Balance, especially for pH levels between 5 and 6, when the risk of ruminal acidosis is greatest.
The GOLD buffer also increases feed intake, cow performance and milk quality. This is a unique composition of ingredients that neutralize and restrain acids in the rumen, helping the cow's body to reach its full potential without the risk of rumen acidosis (see graph 1)

ensures the unchanged quality of milk or increases it;
Acidosis of the rumen
Buffer gold can be included in the diet twice a day with concentrated feed, juicy feed, or complex feed mixtures. Recommended amounts of feeding: 100-150 g/day/head.
To ensure the full consumption of Buffer Gold, it is recommended to mix it with feed.
