ABSTRACT
The role of rumen ciliates in starch digestion is not well known. The objective of this study was
to examine the influence of the ciliates Eudiplodinium maggii and Entodinium caudatum on the
turnover of dietary starch in the rumen. It was found that ciliates signifcantly increased the contents
of α-D-glucose polymers in the rumen and their amount passing to the omasum (P<0.05). Competition among the ciliate species for starch was also observed. It is concluded that the effect of ciliates
on the metabolism of starch consists of a restrictive influence on the bacterial fermentation of this
polysaccharide in the rumen.
