Sub-Acute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) in Dairy Cows

Good article about Subacute Ruminal Acidosis in Dairy Cows. Do you think replacing conventional concentraits, partly, by hay pellets might help preventing the SARA condition, especially by using these pellets in the daily ration around and during the first weeks after calving when the need for increased feed energy concentration and the rumen environment needs to be as stable as possible, especially avoiding flunctuating and low pH ( not below 5.8)?
If you think so, to what extent would you recomend to what extent the replacement of the concentrate by the hay pellets might be, before the enegy concentrarion become too low during this sensitive feeding period?

It is really good article and measures suggested to Subacute Ruminal Acidosis in Dairy Cows is good.
Avoid excessive carbohydrates that can ferment in the Rumen and decreases the PH below the required level of 6.0.
