Auswirkungen Oraler Kohlegaben Auf Fermentationsvorgänge im Pansensaft Ruminierender Rinder (In Vitro)

Abstract

Two series of in-vitro-trials (30 incubations each, 39° C, lasting for 5 hours, nutrients: glucose and urea) were carried out simulating the dosis of 150g and 300g activated charcoal per animal, respectively. The donors of rumen fluid (n=3) were fed hay and concentrate twice a day, water was offered ad libitum. Rumen fluid was sampled 2,5 after feeding and incubated into the artificial rumen immediately.

It could be seen that activated charcoal influences the bovine fermentation patterns in vitro dose-depending. The differences and their extend between charcoal-treated rumen fluid and it's controls are listed in the following table.

So it is obvious that activated charcoal, given as a therapeutical aid in cattle, influences the ruminal flora significantly and reduces the availability of the VFA relative to their size.
