Abstract
The effects of an increasing daily intake of sodium chloride from 50 g per day to 250 g per day over four days was investigated in five non pregnant, dry cows with respect to their post-prandial state. Changes in pulse and respiratory rates, body temperature, rumen motility and q uantitative diuretic rates were observed clinically. The acid-base bal ance altered to an acid state. A marginal hyperchloraemia was observed . The quotient of sodium and chloride demonstrated this changes cleare r. Especially sodium but also potassium exhibited a clear change in th e dynamics of excretion. In spite of an changes of sodium in the ratio n the anteprandial concentration of Na was very low in urine.
