Which outcome occurs when a ruminant’s abomasum pH increases significantly?

💡 Explanation

Increased abomasum pH favors different microbial populations; therefore, overall microbial fermentation shifts due to competitive exclusion, whereby some microorganism activity diminishes because preferred conditions degrade, rather than all populations flourishing. This reduces total microbial protein produced.
