| Abstract | ||
| Four female Baladi goats with rumen fistula were used in two experiments to investigate the effect of green fodder (Barseem) and Dry ration (Sorghoum, Bran, wheat straw) upon the protozoal volume in rumen of goat. Animals were fed green and dry ration up to 30 days as period of adaptation before sampling start. The Goats were fed once per day, samples were taken 6 and 22 hours after feeding. On concentrates protozoa] volume was twice as that on green fodder. Most of the protozoal bulk on dry ration refered to Dlplodinium species and Entodinium, while on green ration it was due to lsotricha prostoma. According to the time of feeding, at Z2 hours most of the protozoal mass was due to Diplodinium and Entodinium species on green and dry ration. At 6 hours after feeding on green fodder most of the protozoal volume was due to lsotricha species and Entodinium caudatum. On concentrates it was due to Entodinium simplex. On green fodder most of the protozoal volume was due to large size protozoa. On contentrates it was due to small size species. | ||
