Protein degradation in the rumen of sheep and cattle

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1983
AbstractSheep and steers were given, at a maintenance level of feeding, four diets consisting of either poor quality dried grass, good quality dried grass or separate mixtures (63:35) of each of the dried grasses and barley. Ammonia and total N concentrations in rumen liquor were significantly higher in sheep than in steers whereas total volatile fatty

Microbial degradation of usnic acid in the reindeer rumen

Naturwissenschaften, 2009
Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) eat and utilize lichens as an important source of energy and nutrients in winter. Lichens synthesize and accumulate a wide variety of phenolic secondary compounds, such as usnic acid, as a defense against herbivores and to protect against damage by UV-light in solar radiation. We have examined where and to what extent these

Identification of rumen bacteria that anaerobically degrade aliphatic nitrotoxins

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1981
Of 33 pure strains of rumen bacteria from the Lethbridge laboratory collection, 5 degraded both 3-nitropropanol (NPOH) and 3-nitropropionic acid (NPA) under anaerobic conditions, and another 5 strains degraded only NPA. The nitroacid was metabolized at a faster rate than the nitroalcohol by both pure cultures of rumen bacteria and mixed rumen ...

Effects of rumen-degradable protein balance on rumen fermentation in continuous culture fermenters

Frontiers of Agriculture in China, 2011
Twelve dual-flow continuous culture fermenters (culture 8 d with 5 d for adjustment and 3 d for sample collection) were used to evaluate the effects of rumen-degradable protein balance (RDPB) on rumen fermentation. The different RDPB levels in six diets were as follows: − 16.84, − 8.87, − 0.87, + 7.13, + 15.13, and + 23.12 g RDPB /kg DM.

Anaerobic batch degradation of cattail by rumen cultures

International Journal of Environment and Pollution, 2009
The anaerobic batch digestion of cattail with two substrate concentrations of 10 g and 30 g Volatile Solids (VS)/l was investigated in this study. The hydrolysis of cattail was not significantly affected by the substrate concentrations, and it was able to be described by a first-order kinetic model with hydrolysis constants of 0.298 d−1 and 0.294 d−1 ...

Biomass degrading enzymes from anaerobic rumen fungi.

SAAS bulletin, biochemistry and biotechnology, 1995
Obligately anaerobic fungi are part of the natural microflora of the alimentary tract of many herbivorous mammals. They produce a complete set of polysaccharide hydrolytic enzymes which efficiently degrade plant cell-walls. This article summarizes the present work on biomass degrading enzymes with special emphasis on their cellulases, xylanases, and ...

Degradation of starch in feed concentrates by enzymes, rumen fluid and rumen enzymes

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1991
AbstractThe degradation of starch from various feedstuffs was investigated with rumen fluid, α‐amylase, pancreatin and a freeze‐dried, cell‐free preparation of rumen fluid. Rumen fluid was taken from either a hay‐fed cow or a concentrate‐fed cow. It was shown that incubations with rumen fluid at a constant pH of 6·5 gave a higher degradation of starch ...

Polysaccharide Degradation in the Rumen and Large Intestine

1997
The rate and extent of degradation of plant structural tissues during digestion depends on a combination of animal, plant, and microbial factors. The major animal effect is the nature of the digestive tract itself. Ruminants with pregastric ruminai fermentation generally have a lower rate of passage than is seen in monogastric animals, and rumination ...
