Journal ArticleDOI
Automated simultaneous determination of ammonia and total amino acids in ruminal fluid and in vitro media
G.A. Broderick,J.H. Kang +1 more
TL;DR: Catalyzed phenol-hypochlorite and ninhydrin colorimetric procedures were adapted to the Technicon AutoAnalyzer for simultaneous determination of ammonia and total amino acids in ruminal fluid or ruminal in vitro media and indicated high degrees of accuracy and precision for both ammonia and amino acid analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial protein synthesis and flows of nitrogen fractions to the duodenum of dairy cows.
TL;DR: Additional research with cows consuming large amounts of feed are needed to identify combinations of feed ingredients that synchronize availabilities of energy and N for optimizing ruminal digestion, microbial protein synthesis, nutrient flow to the small intestine, and milk production and composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of hydrogen on rumen methane formation and fermentation balances through microbial growth kinetics and fermentation thermodynamics
TL;DR: Analysis of the literature confirms that increased particulate passage rate is associated with higher rumen H2 concentrations, less CH4 formation, and increased importance of propionate as a fermentation endproduct, and the model suggests that the prevailing H2 concentration influences the thermodynamics of rumen fermentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitation and diversity analysis of ruminal methanogenic populations in response to the antimethanogenic compound bromochloromethane.
TL;DR: The reduction in methane production by bromochloromethane was associated with an average decrease of 34% in the number of methanogenic Archaea when monitored with this qPCR assay.

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.
