NABE (Net Acid-base Excretion)
LABOKLIN Service ID: 1825
Normal values of the fractionated net acid base excretion (NABE) indicate a physiological acid-base balance in cattle. NABE decreases if feed intake is reduced. Together with the blood parameters ketone bodies (ß-HBA) and free fatty acids (NEFA), NABE represents the minimal spectrum of metabolic control in cattle.
