Attachment of the ciliate Epidinium Crawley to plant fragments in the sheep rumen.
نویسندگان
چکیده
High concentrations of the ciliate Epidinium Crawley are associated with damaged regions of fresh plant material undergoing digestion in the sheep rumen. This finding supports that postulate that sequestration in the rumen explains the low rate of passage of protozoa despite the high flow rate of liquid from the rumen. The maintenance of Epidinium in the rumen, despite their slow growth rate, is also explained.

Effect of Absence of Ciliate Protozoa from the Rumen on Microbial Activity and Growth of Lambs.
A survey of the components of the rumen ciliate population in a series of adult sheep, raised in the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Alexandria, has shown that a mixture of Entodinium, Isotricha, Ophryoscolex, Diplodinium, and Polyplastron species was found in the rumen contents of Egyptian sheep; no Epidinium and a negligible number of Dasytricha ruminantium were also observed. The micro...
متن کاملRumen ciliate protozoal fauna of reindeer in Inner Mongolia, China.
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 کاملDigestion of a dehydrated lucerne/barley diet (70:30) in defaunated, Isotricha-monoinoculated and mixed-fauna-inoculated rumen in sheep.
Two adult Texel sheep fitted with permanent rumen fistulae were defaunated for 12 weeks in a preliminary experiment. They were then reinoculated with Isotricha sp for 11 weeks, and finally with a mixed fauna (Entodinium, Epidinium, Eudiplodinium and Isotricha) for 10 weeks. They were fed a diet composed of dehydrated lucerne (700 g/d), pelleted barley grain (300 g/d), grass hay (100 g/d) and wh...
متن کاملIntracellular Prokaryotes in Rumen Ciliate Protozoa: Detection by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy
In situ hybridization of rumen ciliate protozoa with 165 ribosomal RNA fluorescent oligonucleotide probes specific for Archaea and Bacteria provided semi-quantitative indication of the location, type and extent of prokaryotic colonization of various protozoal species. The isotrichid holotrich ciliates generally carried a smaller load of intracellular microorganisms than did the entodiniomorphid...
