The aim of this study was to determine the cytological features of the rumen ciliates Entodinium palmare and E. okoppensis living in the rumen of domestic cattle in the vicinity of Kastamonu, compare the morphological characters of species with their original descriptions and discuss the similarities and differences.
The specimens were obtained from 24 cattle, fixed with 10% formalin and stained with methylgreen formalin saline (MFS) solution.
Specimens were measured from cattle in our country, and were found to be similar to the original description on the basis of morphological characteristics and biometric data.
With this investigation, E. palmare and E. okoppensis were firstly detected from our cattle and were secondly detected from cattle throughout the world. E. palmare and E. okoppensis have low frequency appearance and percentage composition in our cattle. This study concluded that the feeding habits and feeding frequencies of cattle, the physiological conditions of rumen or competition between species can be important reasons for this situation.
本研究旨在确定生活在卡斯塔莫努附近家牛瘤胃中的瘤胃纤毛虫棕榈内毛虫和奥氏内毛虫的细胞学特征,将物种的形态特征与其原始描述进行比较,并探讨异同。
从24头牛采集标本,用10%福尔马林固定,并用甲基绿福尔马林盐水(MFS)溶液染色。
对我国牛的标本进行了测量,发现其在形态特征和生物测量数据方面与原始描述相似。
通过本次调查,首次在我国牛中检测到棕榈内毛虫和奥氏内毛虫,第二次在全世界牛中检测到。棕榈内毛虫和奥氏内毛虫在我国牛中的出现频率和百分比组成较低。本研究得出结论,牛的饮食习惯和采食频率、瘤胃的生理状况或物种间的竞争可能是造成这种情况的重要原因。
