Comparative study on the rumen ciliate populations in small experimental herds of water buffalo and Kedah Kelantan cattle in Malaysia

Seventeen ciliate species were identified from water buffalo and Kedah Kelantan cattle in Malaysia. Although most of these species have been detected from domestic ruminants in tropical and temperate areas, the presence of Metadinium ypsilon and Ostracodinium trivesiculatum is characteristic of Mala...
