← Nature & AnimalsWhich nutritional outcome occurs when ruminant animals consume excess grain?
A)Acidosis due to microbiome population shift✓
B)Increased cellulose digestion efficiency occurs
C)Methane production is consistently suppressed
D)Enhanced vitamin B12 synthesis is enabled
💡 Explanation
Acidosis occurs largely because of a microbiome shift towards more acid-producing bacteria when digesting starch grains. This process overwhelms buffering capacity. Therefore, animals experience pH decline along with depressed appetite , rather than an increase in digestive efficiency under this condition.
