Fully Acidogenic Negative DCAD Diets: How Do They Work to Reduce Hypocalcemia?

A negative DCAD diet contains proportionately more chloride and sulfur in relation to potassium and sodium, thus lowering the dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) value of the diet. Consumption of a negative DCAD diet places a dairy cow in a state of compensated metabolic acidosis, which results in a slight reduction in blood pH and a significant reduction in urine pH. Watch this video to learn how these changes in blood and urine pH positively affect calcium metabolism and may lead to better health and performance of your dairy cows. #Phibro #Animate #Hypocalcemia #Milk Fever Learn more at: https://www.pahc.com/animate/home/
