Resumo
This research had as objective to analyze the physical
(color, smell, consistance and sedimentation/flotation test -
TAS), chemicals (pH and methylene blue reduction test) and
biological aspects (in vitro protozoa examination, infusoria
counts and percentual of living protozoa) of ruminal fluid
from 50 adult and healthy females Girolando cows imediately
after and 12 hours after collection and storage in vacuum
bottle. The animals were in lactation period and grazing
Brachiaria decumbens. The samples of ruminal fluid
contained nearly 400 ml and were collected through
Schambye and Sorensen esophageal probe. The results were
statiscally analyzed through descriptive statistic and “t” test
(P<0.05). Although the first evaluation of ruminal fluid was
normal for physical aspects, in vitro evalution of infusoria
counts, and for the number of protozoa per ml after 12 hours,
some alterations were verified. Significant differences were
observed in decreasing of pH, percentual of live protozoa
and increasing in the time of methylene blue reduction test.
Therefore the thermal bottle is a good option to conserve
ruminal fluid but betler results can be found when the ruminal
fluid is analyzed immediately after the collection.
