Abstract

In our experiments, we measured physically effective fiber (peNDF) in feed rations, confirming the recommendation that peNDF should not fall below 13%. Using a bolus for continuous measurement of pH and rumen temperature (eCOW), as well as a cervical responder for continuous measurement of ruminant frequency and feed intake time, we have obtained several unique results that could explain the large individual variability of measured values in dairy cows. Most experimental dairy cows were able to cope quickly with lowering the pH in the rumen. Fluctuations of pH during the day and in response to various stimuli is a natural phenomenon.
