The present
study was conducted to evaluate the effect of buffer
treatments on ruminal physical parameters, clinical scoring,
production parameters and blood gas parameters in subacute
ruminal acidosis in dairy cattle. Rumen fluid examination
was carried out by rumenocentesis and rumen fluid was
examined for pH (physical and chemical parameters).
Production parameters and rumen scores of SARA positive
animals were also studied. Haemtobiochemical parameters of
SARA positive animals were analyzed with blood gas analyzer.
Additionally, SARA positive animals were treated with
sodabicarbonate and combination of HSCAS (Hydrated sodium
calcium aluminosilicates), sodium salt of carbonic acid +
oxide of magnesium. The above studies suggested that
combination of Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicates and
sodium salt of carbonic acid proves to be beneficial in the
early restoration of rumen pH (physical and chemical
parameters), rumen scores, milk yield, milk fat% and DMI
than sodium bicarbonate alone. Heamatobiochemical parameters
of SARA positive animals showed no significant change from 0
h (pre-treatment) and 96 h (Post- treatment).
