Abstract

The work mentions the evaluation of a homeopathic product, from its continued use and bio-stimulation action on the standard of ruminal fermentation of bovines. It was evaluated pH, methylene blue reduction (RAM), time of sedimentation activity (TAS), volatile fatty acid and ammoniac nitrogen concentration, counting of the ciliated protozoa in the rumen and in situ dry matter degradation at rumen. The treatments through the evaluation of the inclusion of carbonate of calcium (Ca) with the supplement and of the comparison of carbonate of Ca had been compared with the homeopathic product. The supplementation with carbonate of Ca caused changes in pH and in the molar percentages of the volatile fatty acid. The reduction in the concentration of N-NH3 in the ruminal fluid two hours after the feeding concludes that the homeopathic product modified the proteolytic activity of microbiota ruminal. The others parameters analyzed had not been sensible to the supplementation with homeopathic product.

KEY WORDS: Bovines, homeopathic supplementations, ruminal evaluation.
