Extract

An artificial rumen is described which has been shown to simulate closely conditions in the bovine rumen. Criteria of its validity include quantitative and qualitative bacteriological data, V.F.A. production, pH levels and digestion rates; these were examined with a variety of diets using cows on similar diets as controls. An important feature of the apparatus is the high degree of control which can be exercised over the progress of the in vitro ruminal fermentation, permitting experiments of considerable duration.
