For over 30 years Alkasystems have been successfully used to feed animals by creating alkaline characteristics in cereal crop materials Alkalage®, Alkagrain® and Alkastraw® by harnessing the ammonia release technology of Home n’ Dry®.
In recent years the technology has seen the development of AlkabupHa® which reduces dietary acid loading from forages in Total and Part Mixed Rations (TMR/PMR) before entering the animal.
After years of careful development Alkasystemstechnology is now being used in manufactured – blended and pelleted feeds where the whole feed is fully ‘Alkalized’ – creating Alkablend® and Alkanut® feeds designed to combat acid loading so common in animals fed manufactured feeds.
The benefits of non-acidic alkaline feed have been shown in ways that enhance health and performance in many markets across the world for feeding a whole spectrum of ruminant animals. This then, allows users to increase the use of own grown or locally sourced feeds and forages whilst maintaining animal health.

What is Alkalage?
​
Alkalage is produced by simply mixing the unique alkalising feed pellets (Home n' Dry) with a minimum application rate of 40kg/tonne, with a ripe, fully mature, combine ready cereal crop, harvested through a small grain processor and clamping well.
​
Easy to use in a one-step application, once in contact with moisture, Home n' Dry pellets release ammonia into the subject crop or feed, destroying microbes, moulds and some mycotoxins.
​

​
Alkalage provides numerous advantages:
-
Optimum crop utilisation as the mature crop has maximum starch and dry matter yield
-
Alkaline pH helps buffer the rumen, safely increasing the overall cereal content of the diet
-
Reduce the risk of Sub Acute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA)
-
Protein levels allow reduced bought-in protein requirements
-
Cost effective supply of both starch and protein
-
A stable forage is created with no fermentation losses
-
Alkalage allows a wider crop harvest window

Typical Analysis
wheat (DM)
​
Starch 35%
Protein 14.5%
ME 11
pH 8.5
Powerful Rumen Buffer
​
Once the ammonia has been released from the Home n' Dry pellets by intrinsic enzyme action, a further reaction occurs leaving behind alkaline ammonium salts, mainly ammonium bicarbonate, which is also an excellent rumen buffer and nitrogen source.
​
-
Increased protein
-
Not acidic - Alkaline pH
-
Powerful rumen buffer
-
Stable clamp once opened
-
Increased digestibility
-
Support rumen health
-
Effective in combination with grass silage and/or maize silage
-
Cost effective provider of starch and protein TOGETHER
​
The resultant forage is alkaline, stable, with an increased protein content and, as the ammonia also reacts with lignin in plant cell walls, it has enhanced digestibility.
Alkalage is a proven method of utilising own-grown, mature cereal crop feeds to help support animal performance and health, whilst reducing the proportion of purchased feeds in the diet. The high pH in the treated crop helps buffer the rumen against excess acidity and allows a whole new approach to feedstuffs and feeding techniques.
