Importance of Immediate Lactic Acid Removal in Animals

Question

What is the significance of getting rid of lactic acid formed in animals immediately?

Answer

Lactic acid can be toxic if it accumulated.

What is Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is a type of organic acid that is produced in the body during various metabolic processes, particularly when glucose is metabolized in the absence of sufficient oxygen. It is formed through a process called lactic acid fermentation or anaerobic glycolysis. Lactic acid is a byproduct of this metabolic pathway and can accumulate in tissues and blood when oxygen availability is limited.

Getting rid of lactic acid formed in animals immediately is crucial for maintaining pH balance, supporting muscle function, optimizing energy production, enhancing circulation, promoting recovery, and preserving overall physiological well-being.
