The role of ruminal ciliated protozoa in cattle nutrition

Original language description

The rumen of cattle is the largest part of the foregut, thanks to which it can process a large amount of feed. Food is processed in the rumen in two ways - mechanically and chemically. Bacteria, fungi and anaerobic fungi are mainly involved in chemical digestion. Of greater importance is chemical digestion, in which rumen ciliates play an important role. Ciliates occur in all ruminants, but their quantity and species composition depend primarily on the nutrition and energy value of the individual components of the feed. These rumen microorganisms have proteolytic and cellulolytic enzymes that break down proteins, cellulose, starch and complex sugars. The role of funnels in nutrient utilization has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this article is to assess the current state of knowledge about the role and function of rumen protozoa in the digestive processes and nutrition of ruminants.
