Acidosis in ruminants: Nutritional overview

Abstract

Ruminal diseases, which occur during the transition period, can be prevented in part by nutrition. The ruminal disorders ketosis, acidosis, tympany, and milk fever have a negative impact on dairy animals' output. These issues arise in high yielding animals, and nutritional approaches can assist in resolving them. The purpose of this review was to investigate the connections between feeding practices and animal welfare, health, and production. Ruminants with metabolic disorders experience severe health and economic issues as well as significant financial loss. Despite significant management efforts, metabolic problems continue to be the primary cause of animal death, sluggish weight increase, and low milk supply. It may be concluded that controlling the transition cow to reduce metabolic problems can reduce ruminal disorder, which is not a pathogenic problem but a management issue during the transition phase.
