Abstract

The effects of thiamin on the rumen fermentation characteristics in goats suffered from subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) were studied. Six healthy Xuhuai goats aged 1 to 2 years and fixed with permanent fistulas were divided into two groups with 3 goats in each group. SARA of goats was induced by a feeding regime of gradual increasing dietary ratio of concentrate to forage. After SARA occurs, 240 mg/kg thiamin was added in the diet of experimental group. The results showed that the supplementation of thiamin increased rumen fluid pH; the concentrations of lactate (4 to 8 h), acetate (0 to 12 h) and acetate/propionate (0 to 12 h) were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the concentrations of propionate (0 to 12 h) and butyrate (0, 6 and 9 h) were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); thiamine concentration in rumen fluid at all the time points was significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while endoxin concentration in rumen fluid was not significantly affected at all the time points excepted for 6 h (P>0.05); thiamin concentration in rumen fluid was significantly increased at all the time points (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the activity of thiaminase was significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). It is concluded that the supplementation of 240 mg/kg thiamin in diets for goats during SARA period can improve the conditions of rumen internal environment, which results in the release of SARA.
