Ruminal lactic acidosis and its haemato-biochemical alterations in free ranging goats

Journal of Entomology and Zoology Studies · 2021 · Vol. 9(1) · pp. 1773–1777

Abstract

About sixty two goats with the history of excess carbohydrate feeding presented signs suggestive of ruminal lactic acidosis. The physical properties of the ruminal fluid from the suspected cases like colour, consistency, odour and pH were assessed. In majority of the cases, the rumen fluid had the pH in the range of 5.0-6.0 (30.64%), greenish colour (38.7%), acrid odour (33.87%), watery consistency (59.67%) and absence of active protozoa (75.8%). Serum biochemical analysis revealed a significant decrease (P
