The affect of rumen fluid collection time on its fermentative capacity and the stability of rumen conditions in sheep fed a constant diet

Extract
One of the sources of variation in the in vitro gas production (GP) technique (Theodorou et al., 1994) is the inoculum source that is used. The time of rumen fluid collection in relation to the feeding time of the donor animals could greatly affect the microbial activity and hence fermentative capacity of the inoculum. This study was carried out to quantify both within day and between day variation in rumen fermentative capacity.
