Legumes are higher in minerals and their proteins are more soluble (which is what also causes bloat) which both buffer against pH decreases.

Anyone know if rotavac corona covers all the strains of rotavirus our could I have been hit with one it doesn't cover, it very unusual for rotavirus to affect calves as old as mine so badly from reading up on it has me stumped
