Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is a digestive disorder associated with systemic inflammation that affects both dairy and beef cattle. The effects of grain-induced SARA have been extensively studied in dairy and beef cattle, but information on diagnosing SARA in beef cattle is limited. Beef cattle on soluble carbohydrate diets experience SARA and have higher morbidity for bovine respiratory disease, despite extensive preventive measures. Monitoring for SARA is important for developing strategies to prevent its related morbidities in both beef and dairy cattle.Downloads
