Abstract
As our knowledge of ruminant nutrition increases, consequently so does our ability to fine tune feed rations. In recent years a new idea in ration formulation and dairy cattle nutrition has emerged. The technique, known as Dietary Cation Anion Balance (DCAB), has enabled many dairymen to more precisely balance dairy rations.
