Abstract

Cattle pulled to the hospital system for BRDC treatment did not have different rumen pH values regardless of their rectal temperature. Acidosis and BRDC both cause anorexia due to an undefined period of feed refusal or decreased feed intake in cattle. Possibly by measuring rumen pH after anorexia was detectable, cattle may have been off feed for a period of time long enough for rumen pH to normalize due to decreased substrate available for rumen fermentation. More research
in this area is warranted.
