Rumen stasis is a condition in cattle where the normal contractions of the rumen slow down or stop, leading to decreased feed intake, decreased motility within the digestive tract, and potential accumulation of gas and toxins. It can be caused by factors like stress, sudden diet changes, or bacterial infections, and may require veterinary treatment to prevent further complications.
A rumen fistula is a surgically created entry to the rumen in the left flank of the ruminant, typically permanent and with a rubber or similar material device (a 'cannula') fitted to close it between times of use. It enables the rumen contents to be accessed, and the rumen wall to be viewed and biopsied. Surgically modified ruminants such as these are only found on research farms, where they are used to study rumen function. Looking in through the fistula, you can see the rumen contents and the rumen wall.

Yes, excess starch in a ruminant's diet can lead to rumen alkalosis, although it is more commonly associated with acidosis. High starch levels can cause rapid fermentation, resulting in an overproduction of volatile fatty acids and a drop in rumen pH. However, if there are fluctuations in diet or other factors that lead to a decrease in fiber and subsequent shifts in microbial populations, it can potentially disrupt normal rumen function and create alkaline conditions. Proper dietary balance is essential to maintain rumen health.
