Feeding anions has a positive effect on Ca homeostasis in cows. Since some studies suggest a
non-acid-base effect of anions, we studied their effects on the microclimate of the rumen surface
and on ruminal Ca absorption. Ruminal surface pH was increased by sulphate, as previously shown
for chloride. However, while chloride and short-chain fatty acids stimulate ruminal Ca absorption,
sulphate had no consistent effect on Ca flux rates. These observations underline that anions also
contribute to Ca homeostasis by different gastrointestinal effects.
