Occurrence of the Ciliate Protozoa Bütschlia parva Schuberg in the Rumen of the Ovine 1

B A Dehority 1
PMCID: PMC376637  PMID: 4984368

Abstract

The holotrich ciliate protozoa, Bütschlia parva Schuberg, has been observed in the rumen of the ovine. Limited data suggest that the concentration of B. parva in the rumen follows a diurnal cycle similar to that of the other holotrichs.
