Balancing diets for physically effective fibre and ruminally degradable starch: A key to lower the risk of sub-acute rumen acidosis and improve productivity of dairy cattle☆ (2010, methodology): “Ruminal pH fluctuates considerably during a 24-h period and is influenced by the intake of fermentable carbohydrates, the inherent capacity of the animal to provide buffer secretions as well as the rates of absorption and utilization of acids (Krause and Oetzel, 2006; Naragaja and Titgemeyer, 2007).”
Review: The use of direct fed microbials to mitigate pathogens and enhance production in cattle (2011, background): “lactilytica being predominant culturable lactate-fermenting organisms in grain-fed animals (Nagaraja and Titgemeyer 2007).”
Rumen Microbial Population Dynamics during Adaptation to a High-Grain Diet (2010, neutral): “The rapid growth of Streptococcus bovis had not been reported in animals adapted to grain but was seen to be similar to that in animals on a forage diet (29).”
