Rumination, Particle Size and Passage from the Rumen
Abstract
Physical events relating to particle size reduction of indigestible fiber in the rumen are important in regulating roughage intake, and hence, productivity of ruminants fed roughage diets. Particle size reduction is the limiting process in clearing of indigestible fibers from the rumen and rumination plays a major role in this process. Acidosis and high osmotic pressure can inhibit rumination activity and rumination alone is not responsible for the maintenance of normal VFA production. The reason that some small particles do not pass from the rumen remains unknown, but it is apparently because of entrapment in the rumen ingesta mass for long periods of time. Large animals appear to be more efficient ruininators than are small ones within species.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
