Method for measuring microbial growth in rumen content.

چکیده
Radioactive sodium sulfide was used to label the sulfide pool of rumen contents in vitro. Microbial protein synthesis was calculated from the size and rate of dilution of label in the sulfide pool, and from the radioactivity incorporated into protein together with a conversion factor specifying the nitrogen-sulfur ratio determined for microbial protein. The microbial cell yield, calculated on the basis of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) available from fermentation, was 13 to 14 g (dry weight) per mole of ATP, which is in good agreement with the values obtained for pure cultures of bacteria. Calculation of microbial protein yield per kilogram of ration agreed fairly well with previous estimates for similar rations.

Rumen is a persistent and specific ecosystem consists of bacteria, protozoa and fungus where feed fermentation takes place in it. Produced Hydrogen in rumen can be used in the synthesis of the volatile fatty acids and the microbial protein and its excess would be eliminated through the production of Methane by methanogenesis. Nutritionists have tried to find ways to decrease loss and energy and...

Swiss Saanen goat is a widespread breed frequently found in commercial herds across the world. The present study aimed to identify the rumen microbial community of exotic Saanen goats adapted to a fibrous diet using barcoded pyrosequencing. Rumen content samples were collected from the four animals via a stomach tube after the morning graze and freeze-dried for DNA extraction. Bacterial and arc...
