TLDR
The effects of two ionophore antibiotics, lasalocid and cationomycin, on the rumen microbial activity (cell-wall constituents degradation, fermentation and microbial biomass production) were studied using in vitro semi-continuous fermentors (RUSITEC).About:

Manipulation of ruminal fermentation
TL;DR: A proper balance between fermentative and glandular digestion needs to be achieved for optimal productivity in ruminants as mentioned in this paper, which is the goal of most of the diets formulated with an intention of providing the animal with optimal levels of nutrients to achieve the optimal level of performance.

Control of rumen methanogenesis.
C. J. Van Nevel,Daniël Demeyer +1 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that drastic inhibition of methane production is not unequivocally successful as a result of several factors, such as: instantaneous inhibition often followed by restoration of methanogenesis due to adaptation of the microbes or degradation of the additive, toxicity for the host animal, negative effects on overall digestion and productive performance.

Compartmentation in the rumen
K.-J. Cheng,T. A. McAllister +1 more
TL;DR: A full understanding of the integrated physiological functions of organs and of their associated microbial populations can only be achieved in terms of the interrelations between different compartments.
Dissertation
Investigations into the factors which influence measurements during in vitro gas production studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability and application of an in vitro gas production technique as a routine analytical tool in animal nutrition studies was investigated and the effect of several biological, chemical and physical factors on the measurement of gas production were investigated.

Effects of lasalocid and cationomycin on the digestion of plant cell walls in sheeP
C. Bogaert,L. Gomez,J. P. Jouany +2 more
TL;DR: The digestive flow measurements at the duodenum showed that the antibiotic had no effect on the apparent digestion of dry matter, organic matter and plant cell walls along the digestive tract, and lasalocid decreased the true digestion of feed dry matter in the rumen.

Use of Detergents in the Analysis of Fibrous Feeds. II. A Rapid Method for the Determination of Fiber and Lignin
TL;DR: The acid-detergent fiber method (ADF) as mentioned in this paper is a fiber method based on cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution.

Design and development of a long-term rumen simulation technique (Rusitec)
TL;DR: The experiments showed that when the steady-state was reached it could be maintained indefinitely, with the type and quantities of products of fermentation very similar to those in the rumen of donor animals, including the maintenance of normal protozoal populations for up to 49 d.

Influence of Monensin on the Performance of Cattle
TL;DR: Energy metabolism data suggested that monensin improved digestibility of DM, reduced fasting heat production and increased dietary net energy maintenance (NEm) values more than it increased net energy gain (NEg) values.
