Biological tests that I have found useful in herd nutritional investigations are ruminal pH, serum beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), urinary pH, and milk or blood urea nitrogen (UN). Biological tests can be very useful in assessing problems found in nutritional management, ration formulation, or disease incidence. However, they are subject to error due to sample size, sample handling, time of collection relative to feeding, and laboratory error. Thus, biological test results generally do not stand alone, but should be supported by other data from the herd investigation.
