Obstructive urolithiasis is a common urological problem in goats. Sandy uroliths can be partially relieved by urine acidification with short-term ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) treatment. However, the outcome of urine acidification and the physiological responses to short-term NH4Cl supplementation under respiratory hypocapnia of HTa have rarely been reported. The present study investigated the effect of NH4Cl supplementation that produced a low dietary cation-anion different (l-DCAD) diet on acid-base balance and renal function under HTa conditions. The first experiment investigated the physiological responses to natural HTa to prove whether the peak HTa during the afternoon could induce HTa responses without a change in the plasma cortisol. The partial pressure of CO2 also tended to decrease during the afternoon. The second experiment examined the short-term effect of l-DCAD under HTa conditions. Although the blood pH was within the normal range, there was a clear acid-base response in the direction of metabolic acidosis. The major responses in renal function were an increase in tubular function and acid excretion. With a comparable level of creatinine clearance, the fractional excretions (FE) of chloride and calcium increased, and the FE of potassium decreased. Acid excretion increased significantly in the l-DCAD group. We conclude that under HTa conditions, the tubular excretion of electrolytes and acids was the major response to acid loading without changing the filtration rate. The l-DCAD formulation can be used to acidify urine effectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani12233444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,7]],"date-time":"2022-12-07T03:27:57Z","timestamp":1670383677000},"page":"3444","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Effects of Low Dietary Cation and Anion Difference on Blood Gas, Renal Electrolyte, and Acid Excretions in Goats in Tropical Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7865-9505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dang Khoa","family":"Do Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University, Henri Dunang Street, Bangkok 10330, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4738-2547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sapon","family":"Semsirmboon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University, Henri Dunang Street, Bangkok 10330, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3207-0885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Narongsak","family":"Chaiyabutr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University, Henri Dunang Street, Bangkok 10330, Thailand"},{"name":"The Academy of Science, The Royal Society of Thailand, Dusit, Bangkok 10300, Thailand"},{"name":"Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute, The Thai Red Cross Society, Bangkok 10330, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sumpun","family":"Thammacharoen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University, Henri Dunang Street, Bangkok 10330, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102783","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtherbio.2020.102783","article-title":"High ambient temperature directly decreases milk synthesis in the mammary gland in Saanen goats","volume":"94","author":"Saipin","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
