Application of Insect in animal nutrition
Lithothamnium mainstream acceptance as a buffer for animal feed application as an alternative of sodium bicarbonate
SeaQ Releases New Proof: Beecomb vs Other Lithothamnium Products
Sodium Bicarbonate offers a quick short-term solution, but its rapid acid reaction diminishes
its long-term effectiveness. In contrast, Beecomb consistently neutralizes acid for over 1.5 hours, suggesting a strategic combination of both for intensive farming systems. Beecomb, with a similar buffer capacity to other products, stands out for its superior cost-effectiveness.
Lithothamnium calcareum as Rumen Buffer for Dairy Cows against acidosis
The dairy industry is becoming more intense, with cows being bred for higher milk production. As a result, their nutritional needs are increasing, and more concentrated feeds are required to support this growth. This high concentrate consumption maximizes the production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in the rumen, which is the main source of energy for dairy cows and can provoke acidosis.
