Nutrient synchronisation of protein and carbohydrates is a promising practice to improve ruminal nutrient utilisation. However, dietary sources supplying these nutrients can vary in ruminal nutrient availability due to differing degradation rates ...

Distribution and changes in urease (EC3.5.1.5) activity in Rumen Simulation Technique (Rusitec) [PDF]
1. The Rumen Simulation Technique (Rusitec) was used in a series of long-term experiments to study the distribution and changes of urease (EC3.5.1.5) activity in a heterogeneous fermentation system.2. It was shown that in Rusitec the high urease activity from the inoculum decreased to low values, that the rate of decrease was consistent with simple ...

Abstract Subacute rumen acidosis (SARA) is a common problem in dairy cattle. High‐concentrate rations lead to an accumulation of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the rumen and a subsequent decrease in ruminal pH. As SARA impairs animal welfare and productivity, numerous in vivo studies are focusing on evaluation of prevention strategies.

Urea in diets of ruminants has been investigated to substitute expensive animal and vegetable protein sources for more than a century, and has been widely incorporated in diets of ruminants for many years.

Abstract BACKGROUND Climatic and dietary shifts predispose ruminal microbes to hyperthermal and hyperosmotic stress, leading to poor fermentation and subsequently adverse effects on ruminant productivity. Betaine may function as substrate, osmolyte, antioxidant, and methyl donor for microbes.

Rumen archaea play an important role in scavenging ruminal hydrogen (H2) and thus facilitate rumen fermentation. They require optimum temperature and osmolality for their growth and metabolism; however, a number of external factors may put archaea under heat and osmotic stress. Betaine is an osmolyte, molecular chaperone, and antioxidant; therefore, it

Effect of microbial oil, evening primrose oil and borage oil on rumen fermentation in vitro
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of microbial oil, evening primrose oil and borage oil on rumen fermentation of a diet consisting of 80% of hay and 20% of barley in an artificial rumen (Rusitec).

Investigation of ruminant xenobiotic metabolism in a modified rumen simulation system (RUSITEC)
The approving agencies for plant protection agents request xenobiotic metabolism and residue studies in rats, farm animals and plants (e.g. EU regulation 1107/2009) according to OECD guidelines. The specific intestinal physiology of ruminants might lead to specific residues, which should be investigated very carefully.
