Effects of a bacterial probiotic on ruminal pH and volatile fatty acids during subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in cattle

Abstract: Effects of a bacterial probiotic (BP) on ruminal fermentation and plasma metabolites were evaluated in four Holstein cattle (body weight, 645 ± 62 kg; mean ± SD) with induced subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). SARA was induced by feeding a SARA-inducing diet, and thereafter, 20, 50 or 100 g per head of a commercial BP was administered for 7 consecutive days during the morning feeding. Cattle without BP served as the control. The 24-hr mean ruminal pH in the control was lower, whereas those in the BP groups admi… Show more

“…Probiotics have the potential to enhance intestinal health by stimulating the development of a balanced microbiota with a predominance of beneficial bacteria, preventing the colonization of enteropathogens, increasing digestive capacity and improving mucosal immunity (Uyeno et al, 2015). Furthermore, demonstrated benefits of probiotic administration include increased body weight gain and reduced incidence of diarrhea (Timmerman et al, 2005;Goto et al, 2016).…”

“…Nowadays, SARA is commonly defined as a pH <5.6 for >3 hr/day (Plaizier, Krause, Gozho, & McBride, 2008), or a pH <5.8 for >5.24 hr/day (Zebeli et al., 2008). A decrease in ruminal pH causes changes in the microbial community and subsequent alterations in the fermentation pattern (Goto et al., 2016; Khafipour, Krause, & Plaizier, 2009b).…”

“…Ruminal fluids were collected from adjacent to the pH sensor at 13:00 on the last day of each period. These samples were immediately filtered through two layers of cheesecloth, and treated for further analyzes as reported previously [5]. Briefly, the VFAs were quantified with gas chromatography (Hitachi-163, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan), and the ruminal LPS activity was measured using a kinetic colorimetric method with Limulus amebocyte lysate (Pyrochrome; Seikagaku, Tokyo, Japan).…”
