Compensation for changes in the acid-base balance in intact newborn calves and in experimental metabolic acidosis and alkalosis

The quantitative parameters of the new-born calves acid-alkali balance in the early period of their life has been defined to be essentially changed. Considering the latter their organism acid-base balance natural stabilization is characterized by the certain dynamics which is being disturbed displays a quick development of adaptive reactions. The new-born ones' organism capability to support the acid-base homeostasis has been identified as considerably determined by their tissues alkaline reserve level.
