If there’s a problem with wet and acidic silages I will add 150g per cow of Equaliser to the TMR. It helps to avoid digestive upsets and we have fewer problems when cows are on Equiliser. We keep supplies to hand so we can act quickly. It’s far more palatable and efficient than just sodium bicarbonate and does just what it says it should.
Feeding Equaliser adds a few pence per cow to the ration each day, but it is easily justified through maintaining milk yield, quality and cow health.
