Abstract

The present study aimed to perform a comparative analysis of rumen liquor in goats diagnosed with acidosis and healthy goats from the Theni district. Goats were grouped into two groups, six in each group. Rumen liquor was collected by rumen liquor extraction pump and strained immediately. Strained liquor was used for the study. Key parameters measured included rumen pH, protozoa count, ammonia concentration and total volatile fatty acids (TVFA). These parameters are indicators of rumen fermentation efficiency and provide information about disturbance associated with acidosis. Results demonstrated a significant reduction in rumen pH, protozoa population and increased ammonia levels in goats affected by acidosis compared to healthy goats.
