Managing acidosis in dairy herds

Consistent and high energy intakes are needed for high levels of production of milk solids by dairy herds.  When ruminants are fed a diet high in readily fermentable carbohydrates from grain, byproducts and highly digestible pasture, a condition known as rumen acidosis can occur.   Most commonly, acidosis is present as a sub clinical condition causing lost productivity and unhealthy cattle.
