Two groups of 12 cows, early lactation and mid-lactation cows were sampled in each dairy herd andruminal pH was determined immediately using a portable pH-meter. A total of 54 cows (27.6%) were foundto be experiencing SARA. No significant differences were found between SARA affected and non-affectedcows in ruminal contractions, faecal quality and fat and protein components of milk.}, keywords = {Subacute ruminal acidosis,Dairy herds,Iran}, url = {https://ijvr.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1085.html}, eprint = {https://ijvr.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1085_8e6739ca7ba69099df5de79fdc88c113.pdf} }
