Highly fermentable diets require the inclusion of adequate amounts of fiber to reduce the risk
of subacute rumen acidosis (SARA). To assess the adequacy of dietary fiber in dairy cattle …

In this review, an overview is provided on the current achievements regarding the interplay
between rumen digestive disorders and diet-induced inflammation in dairy cattle. It starts …

Controlling rumen disorders is critical to ensure successful dairy herd health management.
Lactation diets of dairy cows are commonly rich in concentrates and low in physically …

Data from recent research studies were analyzed quantitatively, and the random effect of
experiment was assessed to define the physiological responses of dairy cows in early …

Simple Summary This paper aims to validate a recently released commercial sensor
(AFICollar®, Afimilk, Israel) to monitor dairy cows' feeding and ruminating behavior. In order …

In this study, two total mixed rations (TMR, based on dry ingredients) consisting (per kg dry
matter (DM)) of 300 or 400g finely chopped hay mixture of grass and alfalfa (H30 versus …

Simple Summary It is common to feed cows varying levels of forage fibre in the time span
before calving to lactation. The resulting changes in chewing time may help to evaluate if …

Monitoring the feeding and ruminating behaviour of ruminants can be used to assess their
health and welfare. The MSR-jaw movement recording system (JAM-R) can automatically …

Monitoring of ruminating activity in cows can help detecting deficiencies in structural fibre in
the diet and also identifying related rumen disorders at an early stage. The aim of this study …

This study modelled multiple physiological responses of dairy cows to physical and
chemical characteristics of a diet aiming to optimise their requirements for physically …
