“…Mean ciliate density in the rumen contents of domestic sheep in İzmir, Turkey (118.3 × 10 4 cells ml -1 ) was higher than that in sheep from Canada (Imai et al 1989), Egypt (Selim et al 1996), İzmir, Turkey (Öktem et al 1997), Northern Cyprus (Göçmen & Gürelli 2009a), and Egypt (Baraka 2012), but less than sheep from Libya (Selim et al 1999) (Table 3). This variation may be the result of different hosts and different feeding habits, geographical location, or a combination of these factors (Imai et al 1989;Gürelli 2014Gürelli , 2016. However, differences in mean ciliate density in sheep living in the same area (İzmir, Turkey) probably occurred for a different reason, such as the physiological condition of rumen.…”

“…A well-mixed ruminal digesta sample was obtained immediately by inserting a ladle into the open rumen and fixed with an equal volume of 18.5% formalin (Dehority 1984). An aliquot of each sample was stained in methyl green formalin saline (MFS) solution for total and differential cell counts (Gürelli 2014;Ogimoto & Imai 1981). MFS was also used as a nuclear stain, and Lugol's iodine was used to visualize the skeletal plates (Gürelli 2016).…”

Species composition and distribution of ciliates were investigated in the rumen contents of 15 domestic sheep (Ovis aries) living in İzmir, Turkey. Twenty-three species and 11 morphotypes belonging to nine genera were identified. The density of ciliates was 118.3 ± 63.5 × 104 cells ml−1, and the mean number of ciliate species per host was 13.5 ± 5.3. Entodinium simulans was the most abundant species, with a prevalence of 100%. Two morphotypes of Diplodinium flabellum were identified, such as D. flabellum m. aspinatum and D. flabellum m. monospinatum, and E. simulans m. dubardi was found for the first time in domestic sheep in Turkey. The scanning electron microscopic observations of Entodinium longinucleatum, E. bursa, E. rectangulatum m. rectangulatum, E. semahatae, E. exiguum, E. minimum, E. simulans m. caudatum, E. dilobum, Diplodinium flabellum m. aspinatum, D. dentatum, Isotricha prostoma, Metadinium affine, Enoploplastrom triloricatum, Dasytricha ruminantium, Ophryoscolex caudatus m. tricoronatus, Epidinium ecaudatum m. parvicaudatum, and Polyplastron multivesiculatum were studied.

“…Twenty milliliters (20 ml) each of the rumen liquor was collected from two replicates of each treatment into sample bottles and immediately taken to the laboratory for volatile fatty acids analysis according to Cheesebrough (2000). Microbial counts were carried out using the procedures of Gürelli (2014). The heart rate was taken when the goat was calm early in the morning using a stethoscope and a stop watch to determine the heart beat while the rectal temperature was taken using a glass thermometer.…”

The study was conducted to evaluate the rumen characteristics and thermo physiological response of West African Dwarf goats fed pineapple waste and cassava peel concentrate in Anyigba, Kogi State. Twelve growing West African Dwarf goats with average weight 4-5±0.05 kg and approximately 4 to 6 months of age were randomly allotted four (4) dietary treatments with three animals per treatment in a Completely Randomized Design. The rations were 50% ensiled pineapple waste + 50% concentrate, 60% ensiled pineapple waste + 40% concentrate, 70% ensiled pineapple waste + 30% concentrate and 80% ensiled pineapple waste + 20% concentrate respectively. Rumen fluid was collected from the goats at the end of the 60 days feeding trial. The data collected were pH, ammonia nitrogen, acetic acid, butyric acid, propionic acid and total volatile fatty acids (TVFA). Results obtained indicated that rumen parameters; TVFA, propionic acid, acetic acid, and ammonia nitrogen were not significantly different (p>0.05) among dietary treatments except pH and butyric acid. Bacteria count was not significantly (p>0.05) influenced by dietary treatments while protozoa and fungi count were significantly (p<0.05) influenced by dietary treatments with higher values in 60:40 and 80:20 inclusion levels. The result of the thermo-physiological response showed that rectal temperature observed ranged between 32.27 and 38.65°C. Supplemented group fed 60:40 ration had the highest rectal temperature than other treatments. The pulse rate values ranged between 63.25 and 77.75 beats per minute whereby 60:40 fed group also had the highest pulse rate (77.75 beats /min). It can be concluded that the inclusion of pineapple waste supplements and cassava peel concentrate in the diets of West African Dwarf Goat has the potential for optimum rumen ecology with no detrimental effect on the health status of goats. Therefore, ensiled pineapple waste and cassava peel concentrate supplementation of inclusion level at 60:40 to 80:20 levels could be used as an alternative feed material in the diet of growing WAD goats for improved rumen ecology.

“…These ciliates are endocommensal and are transmitted only by direct contact with the host during their lives, suggesting that the composition of rumen ciliate species has peculiarly evolved in narrow and limited areas (Imai 1988). Comparative studies of the ruminal ciliate populations of various hosts in different areas should provide the phylogenetic relationships between rumen ciliates and the host ruminant (Dehority 1978;Dogiel 1927;Gürelli 2014;Ito and Imai 1990) because the diversity of the present day ruminant ciliates is so overwhelming that it may be assumed that at least part of the diversity evolved recently parallel to the radiation of their present day hosts (Moon-van der Staay et al 2014).…”

Abstract:The species composition and distribution of ciliates were investigated in the rumen contents of 15 domestic cattle (Bos taurus taurus L.) living in the European part of İstanbul, Turkey. Thirty-five species and 13 morphotypes belonging to 13 genera were identified. The density of rumen ciliates in cattle was 31.8 (± 21.3) × 10 4 cells ml, and the mean number of ciliate species per host was 12.9 ± 4.4. Of the ciliate species, Dasytricha ruminantium, Entodinium simulans, and Isotricha prostoma were the most abundant, each with a prevalence of 93.3%, whereas Diplodinium anisacanthum, D. dogieli, D. rangiferi, Enoploplastron triloricatum, Metadinium medium, and Ostraco dinium munham were detected only in one animal (6.7% prevalence). Eodinium posterovesiculatum m. bilobosum and D. dogieli are new host records for cattle in Turkey. The infraciliature of M. medium (Entodiniomorphida, Ophryoscolecidae) was examined and detected for the first time. The buccal infraciliature of M. medium was composed of three polybrachykineties, a kinety loop, and paralabial kineties. A large dorso-adoral polybrachykinety, a gentle S-shaped curved vestibular polybrachykinety, and a kinety loop between the dorso-adoral polybrachykinety and adoral polybrachykinety were characteristics. Because of these features, M. medium-type buccal infraciliature was between the Ostracodinium gracile-type buccal infraciliature and the Ostracodinium mammosum-type buccal infraciliature.
