Abstract: "A model rumen system, dual-flow continuous culture fermenters, was evaluated by two comparative criteria in two experiments using ribosomal (r)RNA-targeted DNA probes to compare key microbial groups in samples. The initial experiment measured temporal changes in population structure during adaptation of ruminal microbial populations in fermenters over 240 h." |
| Comments |
P.635 left column top paragraph: "Chemical fermentation characteristics
were similar between ruminal and fermenter samples, although total VFA [volatile fatty acids] concentration tended to be higher in
fermenter samples than ruminal samples (P=0.07) (Table 2). Lactate was not detected in any sample. Ruminal pH was higher than the pH maintained in the fermenters (Table 2). Proportions of acetate and branched chain fatty acids (sum of isobutyrate, isovalerate
and 2-methylbutyrate) were higher and valerate was lower in the ruminal than in the fermenter samples (Table 2)." |
