The present invention includes a method of maintaining rumen health in ruminants. The method includes providing to a ruminant a low-moisture block made of molasses and having a buffer. The low-moisture buffer block is specifically designed such that licking rather than chewing consumes the block. The licking action of the cows increases salivation which acts as a natural , buffer, for the maintenance of the overall rumen health.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
