The KHLL leaves could be fed to goats without compromising rumen metabolism.

These low SB intakes must not have substantially affected rumen pH.

We confirmed and further characterized the presence of leukocytes in the rumen fluids.

Between sixty and seventy per cent of the cellulose is digested in the rumen.

The rumen is the largest compartment, with a capacity of more than twenty gallons.

Single-copy genes were only detected in the solid phase of rumen and duodenal digesta.

It claims that shifting the microbial population in the rumen leads to greater milk production.

In previous studies, rumen conditions were evaluated by wireless sensor nodes with pH measurement capability.

Monitoring rumen conditions in cows is important because a dysfunctional rumen system may cause death.

This is evidenced by a profound difference in rumen microbial composition between the two age groups.

Certain fungi can digest cellulose and lignin, as can the symbiotic bacteria inhabiting a cow's rumen.

This indicates that the rumen microbiota had not stabilized after 10 days of feeding the experimental diets.

Our results provide insight into rumen microbiota dynamics and will facilitate efforts in formulating optimal early-weaning strategies.

Five Nellore heifers were fitted with rumen and abomasum fistulas and assigned to a Latin square design.

Understanding rumen plant-microbe interactions is central for development of novel methodologies allowing improvements in ruminant nutrient use efficiency.

The rumen N balance was negative for the control and when urea was totally supplied in the abomasum.
