  • Title: D-lactic acidosis in neonatal ruminants.
    Author: Lorenz I, Gentile A.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Food Anim Pract; 2014 Jul; 30(2):317-31, v. PubMed ID: 24980724.
    Abstract:
    Metabolic acidosis in calves with neonatal diarrhea was believed to be mainly caused by the loss of bicarbonate via the intestines or the formation of L-lactate during anaerobic glycolysis after tissue hypoperfusion in dehydrated calves. Because D-lactate was not considered to be of interest in human or veterinary medicine, routine diagnostic methods targeted the detection of L-lactate only. The development of stereospecific assays for the measurement of D-lactate facilitated research. This article summarizes the available information on D-lactic metabolic acidosis in neonatal ruminants.
