During subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) rumen pH is depressed for several hours per day
due to accumulation of volatile fatty acids and insufficient rumen buffering. Surveys …

Due to their high energy requirements, high-yielding dairy cows receive high-grain diets.
This commonly jeopardises their gastrointestinal health by causing subacute ruminal …

Feeding diets high in grain and other highly fermentable carbohydrates to dairy cows
increases milk production, but also increases the risk of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) …

Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) 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 …

Volatile fatty acids (VFA) and lactic acid can build up in the rumen and reduce ruminal pH.
Low ruminal pH for prolonged periods each day can affect feed intake, microbial metabolism …

Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is likely to arise when an easily palatable, high‐energy
diet meets a ruminal environment not adapted to this type of substrate. Increase of short …

Metabolic disease incidence typically increases as milk production increases and as herds
become larger. These factors favor the use of rigorous, quantitative monitoring of metabolic …

Sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) has become an increasing problem in well-managed,
high yielding dairy herds and the monitoring of groups of cows for signs of the condition is …

The main odd-and branched-chain fatty acids (OBCFA) in milk of dairy cows are isomers of
tridecanoic acid (iso C13: 0), tetradecanoic acid (iso C14: 0), pentadecanoic acid (C15: 0 …

Ionophores are used commercially throughout the world in the beef and poultry industries.
Production efficiency of cattle is increased through alteration of rumen fermentation and …
