Artificial rumen simulation system

Artificial rumen simulation system

Main functions and purposes:The artificial rumen simulation system simulates the rumen digestion process of ruminants and simulates the digestion and absorption inside the rumen under in vitro conditions In vitro models that can be used to predict or evaluate the digestibility, bioavailability, release kinetics, and structural changes of compounds. The artificial rumen simulation system can partially replace in vivo experiments, with advantages such as reducing costs and time, improving experimental reproducibility and accuracy, and being manually monitored. This system can be widely applied in animal nutrition and feed research, food nutrition, functional active substance metabolism research, drug release kinetics research, probiotics and prebiotics, food toxicology research, etc.

Instrument achieves goals:

1Exploring the rumen digestion processpHChanges in Value

2By monitoring the amount of gas produced during rumen digestion and measuring metabolic digestion rate

3Monitoring the changes in gas composition and concentration during rumen digestion to study metabolic mechanisms

4. Study the effect of different temperatures on rumen metabolic rate

5. Diagnose the utilization of sample feed by ruminants and provide recommendations for evaluating the results to improve and enhance feed utilization efficiency

Technical Specifications：

Simulator structure: volume 0.25L~1L, ex situ sterilization, design pressure 0.3Mp; simulator has dedicated exhaust holes for gas phase analysis. The simulator comes with an adapter structure that can adapt to different volumes and quantities of simulators, providing flexible matching. The adapter motherboard can be replaced and can be expanded to other volumes or even more simulators.

Each channel is equipped with a reliable preprocessing module, which should be installed in an observable and easily replaceable position. The preprocessing module ensures the accuracy of rumen gas production detection results and replaceable indicators. The deviation of the coefficient of variation for 5 repeated sample measurements should not exceed 1%. Each set of instruments should be equipped with sufficient replaceable pre-processing modules, ensuring the feasibility of regeneration.
