A method was developed for repeated or prolonged infusion of substances into the rumen. A blind rumen fistula was surgically formed so that the unopened rumen compartment was easily accessible immediately beneath the skin. A cardiac catheter was inserted into the rumen and was tied to a canvas patch cemented to the animal's coat. This method has been used in cattle and sheep for continuous infusion periods of one to six weeks. This surgical preparation also has been used to put plant material directly into the rumen and to obtain rumen contents. Thus, a large number of fistulated animals can be maintained over long periods without the disadvantages of maintenance required for animals each having an open fistula fitted with a closure device.
已开发出一种将物质反复或长时间注入瘤胃的方法。通过手术形成一个盲端瘤胃瘘，使得未打开的瘤胃腔在皮肤下方易于触及。将一根心导管插入瘤胃，并系在粘在动物皮毛上的一块帆布贴片上。这种方法已用于牛和羊，连续注入期为一至六周。这种手术准备方法也已用于将植物材料直接放入瘤胃并获取瘤胃内容物。因此，可以长期饲养大量有瘘管的动物，而不会出现每只动物都装有封闭装置的开放瘘管所带来的饲养弊端。
