Rumen Health
Two things are vital to good rumen function: a healthy microbial population and a suitable pH (ideally above 6.5). Without these, the rumen becomes less and less efficient at digestion of feed. This leaves cows susceptible to health complications such as acidosis and laminitis.
The rumen plays an essential role in a cow’s digestive process. Think of the rumen as a large fermentation chamber, bristling with good bacteria that break down food into smaller components that can later be absorbed and used as energy.
