| 3 Collection Methods for Rumen Samples |
|
Definition
Percutaneous puncture
Stomach tube
Specialized device |

|
Term
| Percutaneous puncture (Rumen Sample) |
|
Definition
| Can only collect fluid, use lower 3rd of abdomen on left side to obtain sample from ventral rumen sac |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Use speculum
Saliva may contaminate sample
Allows collection of ingesta as well as fluid |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Contaminates rumen samples by diluting the sample and altering pH. You can prevent by covering the end of the tube w/ a piece of rubber glove |

Definition
olive/brownish green
brownish yellow w/ grain diet
Milky gray = acidosis
Blackish green = GI stasis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Slightly viscous
Saliva contamination will make more viscous |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Normally "aromatic"
Less prominant odor = inactive flora
Sour smell = acidosis
Putrid = GI stasis |
