Abstract
The use of an electrode for the determination of ammonia in rumen and fermenter fluid samples has been evaluated The amount of interfering v olatile bases was negligible in our samples. The memory effect was onl y significant at the limits of the ammonia concentration range. The re sults from the electrode method were linearly correlated with the valu es from the standard colorimetric method (slope = 1.009; R = 0.998).
