ABSTRACT

Sorghum grain reconstituted to 25% moisture was used in in vitro and in vivo studies of ruminal pH, lactate, and volatile fatty acid production. Reconstitution resulted in a trend toward reduced pH and ruminal acetate:propionate ratios and increased lactate. Changes in ruminal volatile fatty acids pH , and lactate were similar to those in other research with dairy cattle fed milk fat depressing diets.
