The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of monensin on changes of fermentation pattern and resistance to intracellular potassium losses from ruminal bacteria of four cattle receiving high forage or high concentrate diets. The bacteria obtained by differential centrifugation were resuspended in a low potassium media. The intracellular potassium losses were measured after 10 minutes of incubation at increasing levels of monensin. The fermentation products were obtained after 24 hours of culture incubation with grass hay (100 […]
