If a cow goes without food for any period of time, the population of microbes in the rumen can be disrupted and the animal is likely to gorge when next presented with the ration. Both of these factors encourage subacute rumenal acidosis. |

If cow comfort is poor, the time spent performing these activities will be reduced, and less saliva will be produced to buffer the pH of the rumen. |
