Highly fermentable diets are rapidly converted to organic acids [ie, short-chain fatty acids
(SCFA) and lactic acid] within the rumen. The resulting release of protons can constitute a …

Feeding diets high in grain and other highly fermentable carbohydrates to dairy cows
increases milk production, but also increases the risk of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) …

A meta-analysis was performed to determine the influence of cereal grain type and corn

Previous research suggested that crude protein (CP) from canola meal (CM) was used more
efficiently than CP from solvent soybean meal (SBM) by lactating dairy cows. We tested …

Seven ruminally cannulated lactating Holstein dairy cows were used in an incomplete Latin
