Abstract

Initial study on the microbial population that adhere to the partially digested grass particles from the rumen of cattle and buffaloes was conducted by using the Scanning Electron Microscope. Based on morphology the predominant bacterial forms observed in specimens from cattle were also seen in specimens from buffaloes and consisted of coccal-shaped straight and curved rods. Heavy rumen fungal growth was observed in specimens from both cattle and buffaloes. Most of the fungal sporangia observed from both cattle and buffaloes were spherical. No similar bacterial or fungal colonisation was observed in fresh (control) grass samples.
