🗞 The benefits of urine pH testing go beyond monitoring DCAD 🐄

📍Monitoring urine pH of prepartum cows can catch unexpected changes in feeding management that could negatively impact production and health of not only your transition cows, but your entire herd.

🔖Urine pH testing is a simple, non-invasive, and immediate way to "listen" to your cows and ensure your prepartum negative DCAD program is on track. This quick, cow-side test gives you a direct window into their acid-base status, allowing you to spot potential issues like feeding errors or unexpected changes in forage mineral levels. It serves as a crucial early warning system, giving you time to adjust the diet before problems impact the health and production of your transition cows—and even the whole herd.
