Rumen alkalosis occurs mainly during fattening and is often caused by giving to cattleFeeding too much protein-rich feedLater, the rumen is abnormally fermented, and the rumen contents are foamy and have a putrid smell, which makes the protein decay and decomposition process dominant, producing a large amount of ammonia, which gradually occupies the cow's stomach, causing bovine rumen alkalosis. Or yesLong-term overuse of baking sodaCauses alkalosis.
Cattle are fed a large amount of protein-rich cake feed, and the lack of carbohydrates in the feed, the nutritional ratio is out of balance, and the metabolism is disordered, resulting in an alkaline environment in the rumen, which affects the activity of microorganisms and reduces their vitality.
Sick cattle repeatedly have unsteady gait, lying down and other symptoms similar to incomplete paralysis, loss of appetite, rumination and rumen peristalsis are weakened, repeated moderate distention, sometimes diarrhea, this kind of alkalosis cattle, mostly subacute or chronic and neglected**. Rumen fluid pH rises to 75 or more, sometimes up to 85。There is no obvious spoilage, but sometimes it has an ammonia odor. It is distinguished from rumen acidosis, which is mainly caused by an overconsumption of a large amount of digestible carbohydrate feed, and the rumen contents are acidic with a pH of 40 or less. The disease is rumen putrefaction, and the clinical symptoms are generally more severeThe pH rises to 75 or more
Adjust the rumen pH value to neutralize the alkaline environment in the stomach, you can use 1000 5000ml of vinegar and take it once again. 30 60 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid a day, or 50 100 ml of lactate a day, divided into 1 2 doses; 2 5 liters of rumen juice from healthy cattle were given and inoculated to sick cows.
When it is found that the sick cattle have diarrhea and incomplete paralysis, take 5 10g of streptomycin, oxytetracycline or chlortetracycline for 2 3 consecutive days. 10 calcium gluconate solution 1000ml, vitamin C3g, intravenous injection, once a day, and intramuscular injection of antihistamine diphenhydramine hydrochloride 01～0.5G, 2 to 3 days. Monosodium glutamate + arginine glutamic acid, or ornithine aspartic acid mixture can be used for detoxification or detoxification.
Auxiliary**: Suspend the supply of protein feed and switch to high-quality green hay.
The above content is excerpted from the textEdited by Huang Zhengyong, technical director of Beijing Zemu Jiuyuan Biotechnology Research Institute, published by China Agricultural PressBooks on Breeding Techniques——"100 Questions and Answers on Beef Cattle Breeding".
This book introduces more than 200 common problems in beef cattle breeding in the form of questions and answers, covering various aspects such as breed selection, feeding management, nutrition matching, breeding and fattening, disease prevention and control, pasture planning, etc., and is praised as "a practical guide to beef cattle breeding" by the majority of breeding friends.
