Effects of dietary D-lactic acid content on rumen microflora of beef cattle
Silage is an important feed source for beef cattle and contains lactic acid. D-lactic acid degrades slowly in the rumen, which may lead to the accumulation of lactic acid in the rumen and have a negative effect on the rumen. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary D-lactic acid content on rumen fermentation and rumen microorganisms
