Effect of selected rumen fauna on the digestion of
starch and outﬂow of α-glucose polymers from the
reticulo-rumen of sheep

The role of rumen ciliates in starch digestion is not well known. The objective of this study was to examine the inﬂuence of the ciliates Eudiplodinium maggii and Entodinium caudatum on the turnover of dietary starch in the rumen. It was found that ciliates signifcantly increased the contents of α-D-glucose polymers in the rumen and their amount passing to the omasum (P<0.05). Competition among the ciliate species for starch was also observed. It is concluded that the effect of ciliates on the metabolism of starch consists of a restrictive inﬂuence on the bacterial fermentation of this polysaccharide in the rumen.
