An experiment was conducted in the conditions of an industrial complex specializing intensive fattening young cattle, to study development patterns respiratory and gastrointestinal pathologies calves with a history previous proventriculus dysfunction. The object research were aged 120 days, which divided into three groups: control, two experimental groups - difference using or absence phytosorb...

Sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is an economically important clinical condition and contributes to loss of farm returns, second only mastitis. It more prominent in cows their early mid-lactation, having peak milk yield considerably high dry matter intake. SARA detection a dairy difficult as it does not present any pathognomonic symptoms, the manifestation signs delayed. SARA's characteristic ...

The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of increasing the number of heifers per concentrate feeding place on performance, behavior, welfare indicators, and ruminal fermentation of feedlot heifers. Seventy-two Friesian heifers were used in a factorial arrangement, with 3 treatments and 3 blocks of similar BW. Treatments consisted of 2 (T2), 4 (T4), or 8 (T8) heifers per eac...

SARA is a common and serious problem in well-managed and intensive dairy herds or beef cattle operations, because of triggering other metabolic disorders and causing lactation-fertility losses. It is a metabolic disease in dairy cattle that occurs during early and mid-lactation and has traditionally been characterized by low rumen pH, but lactic acid does not accumulate as in acute lactic acid ...

This study aims to determine whether sheep modify their feeding and general behaviour when they undergo acidosis challenge, whether these modifications are maintained when acidosis challenges are repeated and whether yeast supplementation affects these modifications. Twelve rumen-cannulated wethers fed concentrate (wheat) and forage (hay) were exposed to three 28-day periods consisting of a 23-...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the pattern of concentrate-rich feeding on subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA), its severity, and the corresponding changes in VFA concentration. Eight rumen-cannulated Holstein cows were assigned to a 2 × 2 crossover design with 2 SARA challenge models and 2 experimental runs ( = 8 per treatment). Each run lasted for 40 d, consisting of...

Microbial fermentation of carbohydrates in the hindgut of dairy cattle is responsible for 5 to 10% of total-tract carbohydrate digestion. When dietary, animal, or environmental factors contribute to abnormal, excessive flow of fermentable carbohydrates from the small intestine, hindgut acidosis can occur. Hindgut acidosis is characterized by increased rates of production of short-chain fatty ac...
