Indigestion in ruminant

it is the functional or mechanical disturbances in the fore-stomach (reticulorumen) that disrupt normal gastrointestinal transit and function, mainly the microbial and enzymatic digestion. It is often triggered by dietary changes, leading to altered ruminal pH, abnormal fermentation, and changes in rumen motility. The net result is the decreased animal production, milk production, decreased body weight gain producing high economic losses.
