Short communication: Effect of subacute ruminal acidosis on in situ fiber digestion in lactating dairy cows.

Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) was induced by replacing 25% of the total mixed ration intake [dry matter (DM) basis] with pellets consisting of 50% wheat and 50% barley. This reduced dietary forage content (DM basis) from 39.7 to 29.8% and increased the dietary concentrate content from 60.3 to 70.2%. Induction of SARA reduced the 24- and 48-h in situ neutral detergent fiber (NDF) degradabilit...

Subacute Ruminal Acidosis in Dairy Cattle

Ruminal acidosis is the consequence of feeding high grain diets to ruminant animals, which are adapted to digest and metabolize predominantly forage diets. Feeding diets that are progressively higher in grain tends to increase milk production, even in diets containing up to 75% concentrates. However, short-term gains in milk production are often substantially or completely negated by long term ...

PReVeNtING RUMINAL ACIDosIs IN DAIRY CoWs

Feeding dairy cows for maximum milk production increases the risk of ruminal acidosis. Diets fed to high producing dairy cows in North America are typically highly digestible in the rumen and often lack sufficient physical fiber. Rapid fermentation of carbohydrates causes an accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in the rumen, leading to a drop in ruminal pH. Lack of sufficient physical fib...

Evaluation of the ruminal function of Belgian dairy cows suspected of subacute ruminal acidosis

Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) has been considered a major pathology in high producing dairy herds for years. These findings were corroborated by several studies in Europe. However, different feeding practices and herds’ production levels are found in Southern Belgium. This study aimed to ascertain whether dairy cows of several herds from the south of Belgium (Wallonia) with a suspicion of SA...

Repeated ruminal acidosis challenges in lactating dairy cows at high and low risk for developing acidosis: ruminal pH.

The primary objective of this experiment was to determine whether lactating dairy cows that are at high (HR) or low (LR) risk for experiencing ruminal acidosis, because of their diet and stage of lactation, differ in their response to an acidosis challenge. A secondary objective was to determine whether the severity of acidosis changes with repeated challenges. The experiment was a completely r...
