Practical Strategies to Mitigate Acidosis in Dairy Cattle: Implications of Nutritional, Genetic, and Management Practices
Abstract: Acidosis in dairy cattle remains a critical concern, adversely affecting rumen health, milk production, and overall animal welfare. This study investigates practical strategies to mitigate acidosis through integrated nutritional, genetic, and management approaches. Nutritional strategies emphasize balancing forage-to-concentrate ratios, providing adequate fiber, and utilizing feed additives such as buffers, probiotics, and yeast cultures to stabilize rumen pH. The importance of gradual dietary transitions and monitoring total mixed ration (TMR) composition …
