Research studies
A product may appear effective in the laboratory, but the true test is in the animal. University and field research reports show that adding Probios® Precise to a cow’s diet can improve ruminal acid balance and help maintain dry matter intake (DMI) for enhanced animal health and productivity.
Study by J. Chiquette, Dairy and Swine Research & Development Centre, Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada
Reported resuts
• Higher sustained ruminal pH
• Higher minimum pH during lactic acidosis challenge
