However, for dairy cows, diets that are low in fiber are associated with ruminal acidosis, reduced rumination, saliva secretion, and fiber digestion, lower acetate:propionate ratios, and milk fat depression. Coarse forage is needed in the diet to promote chewing and rumen motility and to maintain high concentrations of milk fat."
