    • Abstract:
      The article reports on how rumen function is integral to the forage efficiency of cows. Speaking at inaugural National Forage Conference in March 2011, nutritionist Mary Beth de Ondarza stated that cows with problematic rumen function may be suffering from subclinical acidosis (SARA). She encourages farmers to observe proper diet to assure a healthy digestive system for their herd. The nutritionist also endorses effective feeding management.
