%X the aim of this study was to evaluate the variations of acute phase proteins (apps) and other blood constituents during the onset of the sub-acute ruminal acidosis (sara) pathological status. a total of 108 cows from 12 dairy herds were randomly selected and divided into three groups of 36 animals each. all animals were subjected to a rumenocentesis. group a was composed by subjects with a rumen ph>5.8, group b was composed by subjects with a rumen ph ˇÜ5.5ˇÜ5.8 and group c was composed by subjects with a rumen ph<5.5. blood samples were collected by jugular venipuncture and haptoglobin (hp), serum amyloid a (saa), total proteins, albumin and white blood cells (wbc) were determined. one-way anova showed a statistical significance on rumen ph, hp, saa. sara seems not stimulate the apps production from liver.
