Ann. Méd. Vét., 2013, 157 (2), pp 82-98 Subacute ruminal acidosis: a still incompletely understood pathologyLESSIRE F., ROLLIN F.Abstract :
Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA)
is a major problem in high-producing
dairy cows. The drop in ruminal
pH below 5.6 was considered
as the major factor inducing this
pathology till recently. However,
new technologies such as continuous
monitoring of ruminal pH
and rumen microbiome assessment
have contributed to reconsider
this concept. The aim of this
article is to review the literature for
a better understanding of SARA. Get the PDF Contact person : flessire@ulg.ac.be |
