Alterations in fermentation parameters during and after induction of a subacute rumen acidosis in the rumen simulation technique

Subacute rumen acidosis (SARA) is a common problem in dairy cattle. High‐concentrate rations lead to an accumulation of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the rumen and a subsequent decrease in ruminal pH. As SARA impairs animal welfare and productivity, numerous in vivo studies are focusing on evaluation of prevention strategies. In vitro models can support this research and reduce animal numbers and experimental costs. We used different diets...
