The increase in the zootechnical performance is associated with the distribution of diets more and more energetic, to cover the new needs of ruminants. But, this new diet management weakens the ruminal ecosystem, and it is for this reason that the cows are constantly on the razor edge of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). SARA appears when the balance between production, neutralization, and absorption of VFA is broken. Generally, it is characterized by a ruminal pH <5.8 during 5.24 hours (Zebeli et al., 2008).
Derived from a calcarous marine algae, called lithothamnium calcareum, CALSEA is a completely natural functional ingredient. The anti-acid properties of this natural buffer solution, act on ruminal pH in order to stabilize it in a long a term and ensure rumen activity.
As marine calcium source, CALSEA has 2 specificities: a microporous structure and a specific crystalline structure.
As a result: a more efficient effect on the ruminal pH.
Tested all over the world on different breed, feeding conditions, performances, our buffer solution contributes to:
With modern hyperprolific genetics, sows face increasing physiological demands—especially during late gestation and lactation. Their calcium requirements rise significantly, making high-quality supplementation essential. A deficiency in bioavailable calcium can lead to serious issues such as lameness, which not only impacts animal welfare but also compromises farm profitability.
Ensuring an optimal calcium supply is therefore crucial for maintaining sow longevity, productivity, and overall farm sustainability.
Derived from a calcified red algae called Lithothamnium calcareum, CALSEA is a natural functional ingredient. Its marine origin gives it a porous, highly soluble structure that enhances calcium bioavailability, compared to traditional sources like limestone. Rich in essential minerals, it provides 33% calcium and 2% magnesium
Scientifically proven benefits :
In a trial conducted in 2024 on 100 sows, CALSEA demonstrated significant benefits over standard terrestrial limestone supplementation:
These results show that CALSEA can partially or totally replace calcium carbonate in the sow diet, contributing to better sow mobility and supports maternal performance during critical physiological stages.
