Relaties tussen acidose in de pens, in de darm en in het metabolisme van melkvee tijdens de vroege lactatie : deskstudie

This review indicates that the energetic costs associated with the regulation of acid-base equilibrium in the dairy cow and the required adjustments with acidification (acidosis) are expected to be a considerable portion of the energy requirement of vital organs and the whole cow. This implies that acidosis at the rumen level, at the large intestinal level or at the metabolic level may have a significant impact on cow performance. Experimental research around the potentially negative effects of acidosis (particularly in the large intestine and metabolically) on cow functioning during early lactation is lacking however. There are indications for such negative effects and for the interaction between the occurrence of acidosis, the metabolic state of the dairy cow and impaired health which often occurs during this stage of lactation. Possible interactions between acidosis at the rumen, the large intestinal and the metabolic level are discussed. Influencing factors for acidosis in the rumen, the large intestine and metabolically are listed. An overview is given of features of the physiological state of a lactating cow during early lactation, of the metabolic phenomena that go together with the occurrence of acidosis at one of the three levels, and of the direct causal factors and processes involved with the development of such acidosis.
