Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Ruminal acidosis is a major diet-related health disorder of dairy cattle. It appears to present itself as a syndrome that has negative effects on far more than just the rumen. To understand how best to reduce the health problems related to "ruminal acidosis", being able to recognize it and the factors that contribute to it are the first steps to preventing it. Prevention of ruminal acidosis can lead to better animal health, productivity and efficiency.
