Oral mineral supplement helps maintain cow comfort by reducing milk production at dry-off. This is caused by inducing a slight and temporary metabolic acidosis. Reduction of milk production is beneficial for udder health because it decreases udder engorgement and pressure, which helps reduce discomfort. After administration, the bolus dissolves into the rumen within 30 minutes and the anionic salts are released and then absorbed, which impacts the cow's acid-base balance.
