Effects of phosphorus deficiency on rumen microbial activity associated with the solid and liquid phases of a fermentor (Rusitec)

Abstract: Summary. The rumen simulation technique (Rusitec) has been used to study the effects of phosphorus (P) deficiency on bacterial protein synthesis and chemical composition and on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentrations in the solid and liquid phases of fermentors. 16 g DM of a P-deficient mixed diet was put into each vessel daily and the vessels were infused with about 1 1 of a P-deficient (0 mg of P) or P-supplemented (120 mg of P/1) buffer. Two vessels per treatment were used, and during a second experime… Show more

“…This is in agreement with literature data on the composition of rumen bacterial mass (e.g. Komisarczuk et al., 1987; Wider, 2005). For example, the N:P ratio in rumen bacterial mass can be altered by changes in the hay and concentrate levels of the ruminant diet (Martin‐Orúe et al., 1998).…”

“…The results of the present study indicate that the P contents of the MBM, ranging between 13.2 and 23.3 g/kg of DM, are in agreement with data reported for rumen bacteria (6.1-19.9 g/kg of DM) (e.g. Van Nevel and Demeyer, 1977;Komisarczuk et al, 1987;Wider, 2005). Moreover, there is evidence that the chemical composition of rumen bacterial mass depends on the composition of the dietary carbohydrates (Martin-Orú e et al, 1998), which is in agreement with the results of the present study.…”

“…One potential explanation could be that Ca needs to be absorbed from the ingesta in the small intestine in large quantities to ensure P availability both in the small intestine and in the hindgut. Phosphorus is a major component of bacterial DM (Ca:P ratio in bacteria is approximately 1:100) (Cerkawski, 1976; Van Nevel and Demeyer, 1977; Merry and McAllan, 1983; Komisarczuk et al., 1987a) and therefore a limiting factor for bacterial growth and action. Low levels of available P can reduce microbial growth, organic matter and cellulose digestibility as well as the production of volatile fatty acids (Breves and Höller, 1987; Komisarczuk et al., 1987a,b) – a major energy source for herbivores.…”

High intraluminal levels of Ca could, theoretically, render P unavailable through the formation of insoluble Ca–P complexes (Ritskes‐Hoitinga et al., 2004).…”
