Protozoa are part of this complex ruminal population and are essential for the nutritional well-being and productivity of the host ruminant. Over 30 different genera (nearly 300 species) of protozoa from the rumen ecosystem have been described since their initial discovery nearly 150 years ago. This book brings together, for the first time, the available information on these protozoa. It comprehensively describes the characteristic anatomical features of value for their identification and includes detailed sections on techniques and methodologies for the isolation and cultivation of these fastidious, oxygen-sensitive microorganisms. Their occurrence, biochemistry, physiology, and role in the ruminal ecosystem are fully reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to potential improvement of the nutrition and productivity of the host ruminant through manipulation of the protozoal population and its activities. | 出版日期 | Book 1992 | 关键词 | biochemistry; chemistry; classification; ecosystem; evolution; forest; fungi; nitrogen; nutrition; parasites; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-2776-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4612-7664-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-2776-2Series ISSN 1432-0061 | issn_series | 1432-0061 | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York Inc. 1992 |
