Six sheep fitted with ruminal fistulas were used in a repeated measurement design with two 24-d periods to investigate the effect of adding a specific mixture of essential oils (MEO) at 0 (control), 0.8 and 1.6 ml/d on apparent nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation characteristics, rumen microbial population and blood chemical metabolites. Animals were fed with a 50:50 alfalfa hay: concent...

Abstract. The aim of this study was to analyze changes in botanical and chemical composition, as well vitro rumen fermentation characteristics an upland grassland exposed climate controlled CO2 concentration, air temperature precipitation conditions. Grassland a future scenario coupled with treatments (390 520 ppm) from the beginning spring. During summer, extreme climatic event (ECE; 2 weeks +...

current ruminant feeding systems depend on knowledge of the composition of feeds and the rate and extent of degradation of feed organic matter (om) and crude protein (cp) in the rumen. the effect of storage and preparation of samples on in vitro gas production and fermentation characteristics of two common forage species, namely alfalfa and ryegrass werestudied. samples were prepared as fresh (...

Margherita, S. S. (University of California, Davis) and R. E. Hungate. Serological analysis of Butyrivibrio from the bovine rumen. J. Bacteriol. 86:855-860. 1963.-The cultural and fermentation characteristics of a number of strains of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens isolated from the bovine rumen of cattle from different areas were determined, and the strains were subjected to serological analysis by...
