- Abstract
For accurate research of rumen fermentation and regulation mechanism, a new single-flow continuous culture control system of simulated rumen in vitro (hereinafter called SCCCS) has been designed, with advanced computer control technology and mechanical design technology. This SCCCS has many advantages of function, for example: the work-flow control and the parameter setting and display can be achieved through the friendly man-machine interface; sealed fermentation tank; , replaceable grilles with different aperture sizes; two stirring modes including intermittent, unidirectional rotation and back-and-forth rotation, adjustable service time; two homothermal water-baths; two peristaltic pumps with adjustable speed. This SCCCS reveals that the different aperture sizes of the grilles and the two stirring modes have different influence on fermentation parameters. The experimental results show that fermentation parameters of the rumen of sheep are the most approximate to that in the SCCCS with ratio of concentrate to roughage in diet of 30 to 70, the grille of 200 mesh and the intermittent, unidirectional rotational stirring method.
