Abstract
The efficacy of a frozen-rethawing technique on detaching firmly assoc iated bacteria from in situ hay residues was evaluated using two rumin ally cannulated sheep. The firmly associated bacteria adhering to in s itu residues varied between and within timothy and lucerne hays. The r emoval percentage of firmly associated bacteria, using purine as a bac terial marker, ranged from 69.6 to 86.2% and from 49.7 to 93.4% with a mean value of 83.6 and 79.7% in timothy and lucerne hays, respectivel y.
