Rôle of the rumen ciliate protozoa

Six rumen-fistulated and defaunated wethers were fed twice daily a pelleted diet of barley and dehydrated lucern at a rate of 50 g dry matter/kg body weight °-!5. Two months later, the sheep were divided into three equal groups. Each group was then inoculated in the rumen with one of the following three genera of protozoa : Polyplastron multivesiculatum (P), Entodinium sp. (E), or lsotricha pro...

Estimation of stoichiometric parameters for rumen fermentation of roughage and concentrate diets.

A biochemical model coupled with an iterative nonlinear least-squares program was used to estimate stoichiometric parameters for fermentat ion of soluble carbohydrate, starch, hemicellulose, cellulose and protein in the rumen. Fermentat ion parameters were deduced for two sets of l i terature data, on (1) a roughage group of 60 diets fed to 137 animals and (2) a concentrate group of 48 diets fe...
