Description

Sodium selenate was added to rumen fluid and artificial saliva mixtures which were incubated with either a hay or starch substrate. Using a starch substrate, selenate up to 0.3mg/l increased bacterial protein synthesis and volatile fatty acid (VFA) production and reduced the pH of incubation mixture. Selenate levels about 0.3mg/l had the opposite effect and also altered the proportions of VFA produced. With a starch substrate the stimulatory effects of selenium on bacterial metabolism were t...
