Incomplete tongue withdrawal and weak suckle reflex were associated with decreased blood pH and increased blood L-lactate. Calves of primiparous dams or assisted calving were more likely to have decreased blood pH and increased blood L-lactate. Lactate meters can be used to identify acidemic calves in a field setting, as blood L-lactate was highly correlated with pH.
