SOLVED:What is the role of bacteria present in the rumen of cattle? (a) Production of methane (b) Regulation of digestion (c) Breakdown of cellulose (d) Synthesis of polysaccharides

The billions of bacteria housed in the rumen synthesize ‘microbial protein’ and fatty acids that are absorbed in the cow’s small intestine and contributes to extensive muscle growth and milk production. #grassfed #wholefood | Mike Mutzel, MS | Facebook

If you can ‘see a world in a grain of sand’ then you can see a whole other universe in a drop of rumen fluid... take a look to see the life inside a cow’s stomach 👀 Cattle have a complex digestive system, different to that of horses or people. They have four stomachs and each do different jobs. When you feed cattle, you are actually feeding the microorganisms in the first of the four stomachs. The first stomach is called the ‘rumen’, which in an adult steer can be up to 80 L in volume. The flui
