The Occurrence of the Rumen Ciliate Enoploplastron Triloricatum (dogiel 1925) from the Rumen of Bos Indicus in India
ثبت نشده
چکیده
An investigation has been made to study the morphology of rumen ciliate protozoa from the subfamily Diplodiniinae. A total 814 rumen fluid samples of adult Indian cattle Bos indicus were collected. The present paper deals with the occurrence of Enoploplastron triloricatum. The body dimensions and variations of characters recorded from the specimen taken at random (n=50) from different slides and compared with earlier reports and critical comments were made on their specific identity.

In a survey of rumen contents from 814 adult Indian cattle (Bos indicus) Eudiplodinium giganium and Eudiplodinium bubalus was observed. The body dimensions and variations of characters recorded from the specimens taken (n=50) at random from different slides and compared to those previously reported for other animal hosts living in different geographical locations. This study reports for the fir...
متن کاملEffects of cross-inoculation from elk and feeding pine needles on the protozoan fauna of pregnant cows: occurrence of Parentodinium africanum in domestic U.S. cattle (Bos taurus).
Consumption of pine needles tends to cause abortion in domestic cattle but not in elk. The present study was undertaken to determine whether this difference was associated with the rumen microbial population. After emptying the rumen, pregnant cattle were inoculated with either elk or cattle rumen contents. For those cows fed the pine needle diet, there was no difference in abortion rate betwee...

Rumen ciliate species and composition were surveyed on the reindeer kept in Inner Mongolia, China. As a result of survey, all the reindeer had the same 18 species of 8 genera of the ciliates in their rumen. Appearance of Entodinium parvum is the first record in this host species. Of the species detected, 15 species including Entodinium anteronucleatum, E. bicornutum, Enoploplastron confluens an...
متن کاملKinetics of large ciliate protozoa in the rumen of cattle given sugar cane diets.
1. Experiments were undertaken to examine the kinetics of large ciliate protozoa in the rumen of cattle on sugar-cane diets. 2. Three Zebu bulls were fed once daily on a diet of sugar cane and wheat bran. The diurnal patterns of volatile fatty acids and ammonia concentrations, and the numbers of protozoa in rumen fluid were determined. The numbers of protozoa reached values of 5 X 10(4)/ml for ...
