Feeding Protected Sodium Bicarbonate Attenuates Hindgut Acidosis in Horses Fed a High-Grain Ration

Hindgut acidosis (HGA) is a common problem in horses consuming either large quantities of grain or fructan-rich forages. Horses suffering from HGA may develop anorexia, colic, or laminitis or display stereotypical behaviors such as wood chewing and stall weaving. Feeding a protected sodium bicarbonate (PSB) is a safe and effective method of attenuating HGA without producing a metabolic alkalosi...

Sterilization of Corn Grains with Sodium Hypochlorite.

Before carrying out a respiration study on detached roots, it was necessary to work out a method for obtaining root tissues free from microorganisms. This was essential because fungi give off considerable carbon dioxide in respiration; and the production of respiratory carbon dioxide by asterile roots may be entirely masked by the presence of these microorganisms. Following the method outlined ...

Characterization of culturable yeast species associating with whole crop corn and total mixed ration silage

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the association of yeast species with improved aerobic stability of total mixed ration (TMR) silages with prolonged ensiling, and clarified the characteristics of yeast species and their role during aerobic deterioration. METHODS Whole crop corn (WCC) silages and TMR silages formulated with WCC were ensiled for 7, 14, 28, and 56 d and used for an aerobic stab...

Effect of Sodium Bicarbonate and Sodium Chloride on Renal and Hematologic Factors in Patients with Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Background: Sodium bicarbonate serum therapy is used for compensation bicarbonate lost and increasing blood pH in metabolic acidosis caused by severe anemia in patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. The aim of present study was comparison the effect of serum therapy using two different serums (serum with bicarbonate and without bicarbonate) on some renal and hematolo...
