Abstract: Ten cows in the late drying period were chosen to determine the conditions needed for anionic salts to produce effects upon dry cows. Urine pH levels were easily reachable at which anionic salts were efficacious with fresh cob-harvested cornstalk and wheat straw as voluminous feedstuffs, but hardly with Shala stalk and alfalfa hay. The amounts of addition of anionic salts varied with voluminous feedstuffs, ranging from 440-500 g/day per head for fresh cob-harvested cornstalk and alfalfa hay to 440 g/day per head for wheat straw. The added anionic salts were divided into two parts, one mixed with concentrates and the other dissolved in water to be sprayed on voluminous feedstuffs before being fed to cows, to avoid the influence of anionic salts upon feed intake.
