Rumen, main compartment of the stomach ruminant herbivores, have a low redox potential and anaerobic ecosystem in where various microbial populations inhabit, such as bacteria, gut fungi (AGF), protozoa archaea. These groups symbiotic life whilist both synergetic releationship inhibition some activities could be observed when they are cultured mixture. Relatively higher enzyme AGF is well docum...

This study investigated the effects of disodium fumarate (DF) on methane emission, ruminal fermentation and microbial abundance in goats under different forage (F) : concentrate (C) ratios and fed according to maintenance requirements. Four ruminally fistulated, castrated male goats were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments and the main factors be...

a pilot anaerobic filter was used to remove cod from babolsar fiberboard production wastewater. the anaerobic filter was packed with ceramic packings and operated at different organic loading rates of 2.4 and 8 kg cod/m3 /day, in 20, 10 and 5 days hydraulic retention time (hrti), respectively. the reactor achieved cod removal of 80.3%, 81% and 79% for hrt 20, 10 and 5 days, respectively. in add...
