Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different dietary non-fiber carbohydrates to neutral detergent fiber ratios (NFC/NDF) and thiamine on rumen metabolism in Holstein dairy cows. Three healthy Holstein dairy cows equipped with rumen fistulous were used in a 3?3 Latin square design experiment. The experiment was carried out for 3 periods with 23 days (20-day pre-trial period and 3-day trial period) per period. The cows were fed three different diets, which were NFC/NDF=1.41 (concentrate to forage 5:5), NFC/NDF=2.01 (concentrate to forage 7:3) and NFC/NDF=2.01 (concentrate to forage 7:3)+180 mg/kg thiamine, respectively. The results showed as follows: with the increase of dietary NFC/NDF, rumen fluid pH was significantly decreased (P<0.05), the NH3-N concentration of rumen fluid was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the lactic acid concentration of rumen fluid was also significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), while the acetic acid proportion (P<0.05) and acetic acid/propionic acid (P<0.05 or P<0.01) of rumen fluid were significantly decreased, and the proportions of propionic acid proportion and butyric acid of rumen fluid were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The dietary supplementation of thiamine tended to increase rumen fluid pH (P>0.05), while rumen fluid NH3-N concentration was significantly decreased (P<0.05), lactic acid concentration was decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and acetic acid proportion and acetic acid/propionic acid of rumen fluid were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while propionic acid proportion was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). These results indicate that the increase of dietary NFC/NDF can induce subactue ruminal acidosis, and the alterative dietary supplementation of thiamine at 180 mg/kg can release the rumen acidosis.
