Although traditionally defined by reduced ruminal pH, it is increasingly recognized as a multidimensional disorder involving microbial ecological destabilization, disrupted metabolic cross-feeding, impaired epithelial barrier function, and dysregulated host inflammatory responses. This review synthesizes current knowledge of the microbial and metabolic mechanisms underlying acute and subacute ruminal acidosis and highlights processes that extend beyond pH depression alone. High-concentrate feeding shifts the balance among amylolytic and lactate-producing microorganisms, lactate-utilizing populations, and fibrolytic guilds, thereby promoting organic acid accumulation, reducing functional redundancy, and weakening microbial resilience. Concurrent increases in volatile fatty acids, lactate, lipopolysaccharide, histamine, and other microbially derived bioactive compounds increase epithelial acid load, disrupt tight-junction integrity, and facilitate inflammatory signaling. The principal novelty of this review is the integration of microbial functional guilds, metabolic cross-feeding, ecological resilience, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and host inflammation into a unified microbiota\u2013metabolism\u2013barrier\u2013inflammation framework linking dietary perturbation with microbial dysfunction and host pathology. We further critically evaluate nutritional regulation, buffering agents, probiotics, yeast-derived products, postbiotics, and plant bioactive compounds according to their capacity to restore microbial function rather than merely correct ruminal pH. Additionally, this review may support multidimensional risk assessment, guide targeted intervention, and facilitate the integration of continuous ruminal monitoring with precision nutrition for earlier prediction and individualized prevention of ruminal acidosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms14081797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]],"date-time":"2026-08-14T10:39:01Z","timestamp":1786703941000},"page":"1797","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Microbial and Metabolic Dysbiosis in Ruminal Acidosis: Mechanisms, Host Responses, and Microbiota-Targeted Mitigation Strategies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yijuan","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Qinghai Provincial Key Laboratory of Pathogen Diagnosis for Animal Diseases and Green Technical Research for Prevention and Control,  Academy of Animal Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Diagnosis and Treatment of Severe Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Key Laboratory for Zoonosis Research of the Ministry of Education, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5076-9211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xueyong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qinghai Provincial Key Laboratory of Pathogen Diagnosis for Animal Diseases and Green Technical Research for Prevention and Control,  Academy of Animal Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Diagnosis and Treatment of Severe Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Key Laboratory for Zoonosis Research of the Ministry of Education, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qinghai Provincial Key Laboratory of Pathogen Diagnosis for Animal Diseases and Green Technical Research for Prevention and Control,  Academy of Animal Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Diagnosis and Treatment of Severe Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Key Laboratory for Zoonosis Research of the Ministry of Education, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Duo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Qinghai Provincial Key Laboratory of Pathogen Diagnosis for Animal Diseases and Green Technical Research for Prevention and Control,  Academy of Animal Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory for Diagnosis and Treatment of Severe Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Key Laboratory for Zoonosis Research of the Ministry of Education, Qinghai University, Xining 810016, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cairang","family":"Zhouzai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station, Shaliuhe Town, Gangcha County, Xining 810016, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"10066","DOI":"10.3168\/jds.2024-24817","article-title":"Invited review: Ruminal acidosis and its definition\u2014A critical review","volume":"107","author":"Golder","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
