Rumen Ciliate Protozoa

Rumen is the first stomach of grazing animals such as cattle, deer and camels. The rume ciliate protozoas found in the rumen help the ruminants, as the grazing animals are called, digest the cellulose and other fibrous materials in their food. How the rumen ciliate protozas move, what they look like and what they feed on is shown. The way protozoa are transferred from mother to offspring in ruminants to assue continuity within the species is discussed.
