Changes in Ruminal Microbial Populations in Transition Dairy Cows
We used four ruminally fistulated, multiparous, pregnant Holstein cows to delineate microbial adaptations in dairy cows as they experienced the transition from one lactation to the next. Diets consisted of typical far-off and close-up diets, a late lactation diet containing wet corn gluten feed (20% DM) and an alfalfa hay-corn silage based early lactation diet. Calculated NEL (Mcal/lb), measure...
متن کاملPReVeNtING RUMINAL ACIDosIs IN DAIRY CoWs
Feeding dairy cows for maximum milk production increases the risk of ruminal acidosis. Diets fed to high producing dairy cows in North America are typically highly digestible in the rumen and often lack sufficient physical fiber. Rapid fermentation of carbohydrates causes an accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in the rumen, leading to a drop in ruminal pH. Lack of sufficient physical fib...
متن کاملMetabolic and immunological changes in transition dairy cows: A review
Smooth transition from pregnancy to lactation is important for high productive and reproductive performance during later postpartum period in dairy animals. On the other hand, the poor transition often leads to huge economic loss to dairy farmers due to compromised production and reproduction. Therefore, understanding the causes and consequence of metabolic changes during the transition period ...
متن کاملRapid changes in key ruminal microbial populations during the induction of and recovery from diet-induced milk fat depression in dairy cows.
The ruminant provides a powerful model for understanding the temporal dynamics of gastrointestinal microbial communities. Diet-induced milk fat depression (MFD) in the dairy cow is caused by rumen-derived bioactive fatty acids, and is commonly attributed to the changes in the microbial population. The aim of the present study was to determine the changes occurring in nine ruminal bacterial taxa...
متن کاملNew Developments in Understanding Ruminal Acidosis in Dairy Cows
Maximizing milk production without incurring ruminal acidosis is a challenge for most dairy producers. Feeding a highly fermentable diet provides energy precursors needed for high milk production, but the risk of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) increases. Ruminal acidosis is characterized by periodic episodes of suboptimal rumen pH, which depresses fiber digestion and possibly milk production....
