Successful World Dairy Expo in the US 

From the 2nd to 6th of October, TIMAB Magnesium was present at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. Our animal feed US team along with R&D team and our distribution partners were there to introduce pHix-up, our specialty product dedicated to dairy cows.

This event, visited by more than 60,000 persons from more than 10 countries, was an excellent opportunity to share time, to strengthen our partnership with our commercial partners, share our latest results with nutritionists, and to exchange with the numerous dairy farmers attending this event.

The feedback was great: “Very interesting product”, “Wanna try!”, “More fat, more health, more money, let’s go!”

Neutralization of wastewater

TIMAB Magnesium, with its team dedicated to environmental applications, is more and more requested to provide manufacturers with magnesium hydroxide for their wastewater treatment, in particular for neutralization.

In all industrial processes requiring water, particular care is given to the treatment of wastewater before discharging it back into the natural environment.

For all these applications, caustic soda is still the most common reagent, used for its neutralizing power on wastewater.

Nevertheless, this product is more and more questioned because it has several notorious disadvantages.

TIMAB Magnesium offers an exclusive alternative: liquid magnesium hydroxide, more relevant in terms of safety, economy, and efficiency.

Securing dairy cows grazing season in spring

Dairy farms with high production potential can cope with different problems related to the farming system. In spring, a metabolic disease risk appears, it is the grass tetany (or hypomagnesemia).

This disease is characterized by neuromuscular and digestive disorders, accompanied by a decrease in ingestion and milk production, which can lead to the animal death in the most serious cases.

After three years of research and in vivo studies, Timab Magnesium has developed pHix-up, an innovative natural alkalizing.
