Correlation of the different blood metabolites that were affected by the feed additive, as well as forage and grain intake and reticular pH below the subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA)-threshold, measured during a pure forage feeding regimen or a 65% concentrate-challenge. A heat map of Spearman correlation coefficients was generated for different concentration levels. The red color indicates a positive correlation coefficient, and the blue color represents a negative coefficient. ADMA=asymmetric dimethylarginine; AST=aspartate aminotransferase; BHBA=ß-hydroxybutyrate; C=carnitine; DOPA=dihydroxyphenylalanine; GLDH=glutamate dehydrogenase; GGT=γ-glutamyltransferase; Met-SO=methionine-sulfoxide; NEFA=non-esterified fatty acids; PC=phosphatidylcholine; aa=diacyl.
