Abstract

Anionic products (anionic salts, Bio-Chlor™, Nutri-Chlor™, and SoyChlor 16-7™ ) were fed to 12 non-lactating dairy cows and urine pH was monitored. The products differed in their effectiveness: anionic salts, Bio-Chlor, and Nutri-Chlor lowered urine pH, but SoyChlor was not effective. For cows fed once daily, checking urine pH 12 to 18 h after feeding is most likely to indicate nadir pH. Key words: Dietary cation-anion difference, urine acidification, urine pH, dairy cow, non-lactating
