Answer to Question 1

Correct placement of a nasogastric tube can be determined via
 palpating the left side of the neck dorsal to jugular groove. Palpation is assisted by moving
the tube. Keep finger tips in a fixed position on the cranial one-third of neck then palpate for
passage of the tube under the fingertips.
 sucking on the tube end to confirm negative pressure. Gastric contents (hay) can also be
smelled at this point.

Answer to Question 2

The most common test performed on a rumen sample is pH. pH is used to diagnose rumen
acidosis.
