AlZahal, Ousama, McBride, Brian W., Dionissopoulos, Louis, Steele, Michael A.
Problem statement: Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a metabolic disorder affecting approximately 20% of all dairy cattle in North America. Although the presence of SARA has been described for some time, the etiology of the disorder remains uncertain. For example, many animals diagnosed with...

Steele, Michael A., AlZahal, Ousama, Dionissopoulos, Louis, McBride, Brian W., Matthews, James C.
To understand how the capacity for fat metabolism (uptake, synthesis, modification) changes in rumen epithelia immediately before and after onset of lactation in dairy cows, rumen fluid Short Chain Fatty Acid (SCFA) concentrations and mRNA expression profiles of rumen epithelia was determined in...
