Specific antibiotic products that selectively reduce the numbers of acid-producing bacteria in the gut are available on prescription from veterinarians. These make it safe to introduce grain more rapidly without a long conditioning process. If you are in doubt about the signs your stock are displaying or you see unusual disease signs or multiple deaths in your stock, call your veterinarian or your local DPIRD veterinary officer, or the Emergency Animal Disease hotline on Grain overload, acidosis, or grain poisoning in stock.

In a research setting, effects of increased hindgut fermentation have been evaluated using pulse-dose or continuous abomasal infusions of varying amounts of fermentable carbohydrates.
The decreased diet digestibility likely resulted from increased bulk in the digestive tract or from increased digesta passage rate, reducing exposure of the digesta to intestinal enzymes and epithelial absorptive surfaces. The same mechanism is proposed to explain the decreased milk fat percentage because only milk concentrations of long-chain fatty acids were decreased. For a few days during the acute stage of illness, raw vegetable juices and vegetable broths should be taken.
This may be in addition to a predominantly alkaline diet. An over-acidic system increases our susceptibility to disease and can also lead to osteoporosis as the body will supply calcium and magnesium from bone to buffer the additional acid load.
The organs which are responsible for restoring the correct acid-base balance are the liver and the pancreas. The pancreas produces pancreatic juice from bicarbonate in the blood which makes it alkaline.
It is then released into the duodenum where its alkaline properties activate the pancreatic enzymes which break down the carbohydrates, peptides and fats from the diet.
If the pancreatic juice is not sufficiently alkaline, complete digestion will be impeded and improperly digested food will accumulate in the small intestine where it is fermented by bacteria and yeast.
