Extract

The variations that occur in saliva flow in cattle at rest may affect digestive processes in the reticulo-rumen (Bailey and Balch, 1961). To learn more about the effects of variations in saliva flow on digestion, it would be of value to have a reliable method of measuring saliva flow in intact animals. Stevens and Sellers (1959) showed that emptying the rumens of cows altered the rate at which saliva was swallowed and suggested that this was a result of changes in the rate of secretion. The rate of swallowing was measured during the course of experiments on saliva secretion described earlier (Bailey and Balch, 1961). Those earlier values are here analysed to study the relationship between rate of secretion of saliva and rate of swallowing.
