Abstract
The establishment of a fungal population composed of the main species usually found in ruminants in the rumen of gnotobiotic lambs did not s ignificantly alter the in sacco digestibility of meat meal and soybean cake. The proteolytic activity of the rumen fluid against C-14-casein was not affected by the fungi. Therefore, these microorganisms probab ly do not play an important role in the degradation of proteins in the rumen.
