Advances in techniques in molecular biology to analyse the effect of live yeast on ruminal microflor

Published: October 19, 2012
Summary
Rumen pH is one of the most critical determinants of rumen function particularly for the cellulolytic rumen bacteria which fail to grow at pH 6.0 and below. Rumen pH falls as a result of enhanced fermentation due to increasing concentrate in the diet, this fall inhibits degradation of the fibrous components of the diet and is the cause, in part at least, of the negative associative effects betwee...
