Rumen manipulation refers to techniques used to alter the microbial population and fermentation processes within the rumen of ruminant animals, such as cattle and sheep. This can involve dietary adjustments, the addition of specific feed additives, or the use of probiotics to enhance nutrient absorption, improve digestion, and reduce methane emissions. The goal is to optimize animal health, productivity, and environmental sustainability. Such practices are important in livestock management for improving feed efficiency and overall animal performance.
A rumen fistula is a surgically created entry to the rumen in the left flank of the ruminant, typically permanent and with a rubber or similar material device (a 'cannula') fitted to close it between times of use. It enables the rumen contents to be accessed, and the rumen wall to be viewed and biopsied. Surgically modified ruminants such as these are only found on research farms, where they are used to study rumen function. Looking in through the fistula, you can see the rumen contents and the rumen wall.
