Relation between diet and protozoal population in the rumen

Effects of a diet containing whole cottonseed on rumen protozoal population and fermentation parameters in sheep

Relation of rumen ATP concentration to bacterial and protozoal numbers.

Cultures of Streptococcus bovis and mixed populations of rumen bacteria were used to investigate the concentration of ATP and rumen bacterial numbers at various stages of growth. ATP, extracted with Tris buffer, was analyzed using the firefly luciferin-luciferase bioluminescent reaction. ATP concentrations of S. bovis and mixed cultures of rumen bacteria significantly correlated with live cell ...

the relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test

the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...

Thymus kotschyanus Essential Oil Components and Their Effects on in vitro Rumen Fermentation, Protozoal Population and Acidosis Parameters

This study aimed to identify chemical composition of Thymus kotschyanus essential oil (TKEO) and to evaluate the effects of different doses of TKEO on in vitro gas production, fermentation parameters, acidosis and protozoal population using a completely randomized design with four replicates. Two diets (D1: 100% forage and D2: 30% forage+70% concentrate) were incubated with buffered rumen fluid...

Physical form of the diet in relation to rumen fermentation.

This paper deals principally with alteration to the physical form of forage diets and the effect on rumen fermentation. When a forage crop is cut and conserved there are possibilities of (a) changing the physical and chemical characteristics of the forage before it is given and (b) of combining the forage with other food components. T o produce a ruminant ration of high nutrient potential both ...
