Acidosis / SARA
What is it?
Sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) occurs when cows are fed high-energy, low-fibre diets, typically during early lactation. Prolonged low rumen pH reduces ruminal function, decreases feed intake, and impairs overall health.
Symptoms
- Reduced feed intake
- Slow eating
- Decreased milk yield and butterfat content
- Loose manure with undigested grain
- Discomfort, kicking at the stomach, restlessness
- Increased lameness
