Abstract
Acid-base abnormalities occur commonly in ruminants. The Henderson-Hasselba lch equation(23, 24) and two physicochemical approaches, the strong ion mod el(40) and the simplified strong ion model,(10) have been used to describe acid-base balance in animals.(7-10) The purpose Of this review is to briefl y describe and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the three appr oaches and to describe how the recently described simplified strong ion mod el should be applied in the clinical treatment of acid-base disturbances in ruminants.
