Relative reticulo-rumen pH indicators for subacute ruminal acidosis detection in dairy cows
Published on 27/07/2017
Sub Acute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is defined as a drop in rumen pH, but what is the most accurate way to look at these pH variations? This study addressed this important research question and even accounted for individual variabilities.
