Saliva has two functions:

A. Buffering. Saliva, with a pH value of approximately 8.2 and a high sodium bicarbonate level, has a buffering effect in the rumen. This means that the saliva helps to counteract the effects of acid-producing feedstuffs, such as cereals, molasses, potatoes and fodder beets, on the ruminal PH.

B. Suppressing foam. Saliva can also reduce the risk of bloat as it also has a foam suppressing effect in the rumen – Bloat can be fatal.
