K-pron®

The carbonate hydrate is the ideal compound to ensure that your feed contains the required amount of potassium. It reduces the activity of specific bacterial species responsible for producing intermediates of lipid biohydrogenation causing a drop in milk fat production. At the metabolic level, increasing the dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) with potassium supplementation helps to maintain the acid-base balance and related physiological and cell functions, which is essential during heat stress periods.

Typical Applications

K-pron®, our potassium carbonate supplement for dairy cows, has a rumen-buffering effect supporting microbial activity and fermentation.

Benefits at a glance

  • Increased feed intake and higher milk yield thanks to a more positive DCAD in lactation
  • A highly pure potassium source with a defined concentration of K+A positive load of the cation only, as the anion is metabolized
  • A powerful buffering compound without the load of sodiumTargeted high potassium adjustment in heat stress conditions
  • A buffer for both the rumen and the metabolism
