A novel modelling approach to quantify the response of dairy goats to a high-concentrate diet

M. Taghipoor, M. Delattre, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Masoomeh Taghipoor, Maud Delattre, and Sylvie Giger-Reverdin introduces a novel modeling approach to assess the resilience of dairy goats adapting to high-concentrate diets. By examining rumen pH kinetics, the research reveals the intriguing variability in individual goat responses and provides insights for optimizing feeding strategies in precision livestock farming.

Abstract
High-producing ruminants require high-concentrate diets, but these can cause sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA). This study develops a novel three-step modeling approach to quantify individual dairy goats' adaptation to a high-concentrate diet using rumen pH as an indicator. The model summarizes post-prandial rumen pH kinetics, describes short- and long-term effects of the diet, and ranks goats based on their resilience. Results showed high individual variability in responses, with two main strategies: minimizing pH variations or oscillating between increases and decreases. This approach helps identify biomarkers for adaptation and optimize feeding strategies in precision livestock farming.
