  • Abstract
    Three commercial anionic products (Bio-Chlor MM™, Bio-Chlor FR™ and SoyChlor 16-7™) were fed to non-lactating dairy cows in a total mixed ration (TMR). After the anionic products were included in the TMR at the manufacturersʹ recommendations for 4-d, all products reduced urine pH below the desired threshold of 6.5. The rate at which the products reached nadir urine pH differed among the products, but once acidification was accomplished temporal effects on pH were minimal.
