Influence of a High Salt Intake on Cellulose Digestion

B. P. Cardon1

University of Arizona

Abstract

Digestion studies with cattle and artificial rumen fermentation experiments clearly show that the increased salt concentration of the rumen caused by feeding high salt rations did not cause a decrease in rumen microbial activity. Both types of experiments show that digestible cellulose as well as digestible gross energy is not altered by the increased consumption of salt.
