Bovine lactic acidosis syndrome is associated with large increases of lactic acid in the rumen, which result from diets that are high in ruminally available carbohydrates, or forage that is low in effective fiber, or both. The syndrome involves two separate anatomical areas, the gastrointestinal tract and body fluids, and is related to the rate and extent of lactic acid production, utilization,...

If you were asked who are the best dairy farmers in Michigan, who would you name? Many of us would think about those who have the highest milk production per cow. Some might name those with the best registered cattle. Some might answer with those that seem most profitable, for profitability is unquestionably essential for the sustainability of the farm.
