Ruminal acidosis in beef cattle: the current microbiological and nutritional outlook. (2007, background): “Both Galyean and Eng (1998) and Schwartzkopf-Genswein et al. (2003) suggested that feed intake patterns of cattle managed in a feedlot setting needed further study, as this would provide a baseline for understanding the variability in intake that can trigger acidosis.”
Stereotypic oral behaviour in captive ungulates: foraging, diet and gastrointestinal function. (2006, background): “Here, dietary concentrates decrease ruminal pH by increasing fermentation (e.g. Sauvant et al., 1999; Schwartzkopf-Genswein et al., 2003) and reducing chewing and rumination (e.g. Abijaoude et al., 2000) thence decreasing salivation (e.g. in cattle, to around two-thirds the levels secreted when…”
