Fermentation of methanol in the sheep rumen.

A Pol and D I Demeyer

Department of Animal Nutrition, Veterinary Faculty, State University of Utrecht, The Netherlands.

ABSTRACT

Sheep fed a hay-concentrate diet were adapted to pectin administration and ruminal infusion of methanol. Both treatments resulted in a strong increase in the rate of methanogenesis from methanol. Quantitative data show that methanol was exclusively converted into methane. Treatments did not influence ruminal volatile fatty acid percentages.
