摘要
Rumen ecology plays an important role in the fermentation process and in providing end-products for ruminants. These studies were carried out to investigate variations in rumen factors namely pH, and microorganisms in cattle and swamp buffaloes. Furthermore, studies on diurnal patterns of rumen fermentation and the effect of rumen digesta transfer from buffalo to cattle was conducted. Based on these studies, diurnal fermentation patterns in both cattle and buffaloes were revealed. It was found that rumen NH3-N was a major limiting factor. Rumen digesta transfer from buffalo to cattle from buffalo to cattle was achievable. Monitoring rumen digesta for 14d after transfer showed an improved rumen ecology in cattle as compared to that of original cattle and buffalo. It is probable that buffalo rumen digesta could be transferred. However, further research should be undertaken in these regards in order to improve rumen ecology especially for buffalo-based rumen.

瘤胃生态学在发酵过程中起重要作用，并为反刍动物提供终产品。进行这些研究以研究瘤胃因子的变化，即pH和牛和沼泽水牛中的微生物。此外，研究了瘤胃发酵的日变化模式和瘤胃消化物从水牛向牛转移的影响。基于这些研究，揭示了牛和水牛的昼夜发酵模式。发现瘤胃NH3-N是一个主要的限制因素。从水牛到牛从水牛到牛的瘤胃消化物转移是可以实现的。转移后监测瘤胃消化物14天，与原始牛和水牛相比，牛的瘤胃生态改善。水牛瘤胃消化物很可能会被转移。然而，应该在这些方面进行进一步的研究，以改善瘤胃生态，特别是对于水牛瘤胃。
