TLDR
The inoculated lambs have higher blood haemoglobin, protein N, and lower reducing sugars, ammonia N,, and urea N values than those of the uninoculate lambs.Abstract:
1. The levels of blood reducing sugars, haemoglobin, protein N, NPN, ammonia N, and urea N in addition to the nitrogen retention and digestibility coefficients of food constituents, were studied in lambs with and without ciliate protozoa. 2. The inoculated lambs have higher blood haemoglobin, protein N, and lower reducing sugars, ammonia N, and urea N values than those of the uninoculated lambs.read more

The Rumen Protozoa
TL;DR: In addition to the bacteria in the rumen there are many larger organisms which at various times have been designated protozoa, of which there are two groups both in the subclass Trichostomatia and the entodiniomorphs.

Quantitative meta-analysis on the effects of defaunation of the rumen on growth, intake and digestion in ruminants
TL;DR: It is considered that the results of this meta-analysis strongly suggest a more efficient use of nutrients in ciliate-free animals, especially when they are given poor diets limiting animal production.

Rumen ciliate protozoa.
TL;DR: The chapter outlines the role of the protozoa in ruminant growth, metabolism, and disease, followed by descriptions of physiology and biochemistry of individual species.
