Alkaline indigestion or alkalosis is a type of indigestion commonly seen in ruminants because of faulty feeding of proteins or accidental ingestion of urea, resulting in increased production of ammonia in the rumen, which is clinically manifested by signs of urea toxicity or ammonia toxicity.
Ruminal Tympany or Bloat results either due excessive gas production or physical obstruction of the process of eructation of gas. It is solely a disease of Ruminants.
Acidosis or Acute Carbohydrate Engorgement is a type of indigestion in ruminants caused by the ingestion of a carbohydrate (CHO) rich diet, which could cause severe toxaemia and a change in ruminal pH towards acidic, which in turn complicates metabolic acidosis, dehydration, complete ruminal stasis, and recumbency fallowed suddenly by death.
Simple Indigestion may be defined as simple digestive disturbance which is clinically manifested by inappetence, anorexia, complete or subclinical atony of rumen, infrequent defecation and constipation.
