Manipulation of rumen pH improves antioxidant stability in sub-acute ruminal acidosis in dairy goats
Introduction Oxidative stress is a newly emerging research area in veterinary medicine, and it is implicated in the pathogenesis of many pathological conditions, including sepsis, mastitis,enteritis, pneumonia, respiratory and joint diseases and hepatic insufficiencyl.Recent studies have focused on metabolic diseases that affect dairy ruminants during the peripartum period 2.Sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is a common metabolic disorder in high-producing dairy farms that leads to great economic loses 3.Increasing grain-to-forage ratios leads to depression of ruminal pH 4.The accumulation of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) affects the integrity of the rumen epithelium 5.When epithelial integrity is compromised, it results in health problems such as liver abscesses and even laminitis 6.
