A Novel Oral Endoscopic Biopsy Procedure to Obtain Rumen Epithelial Samples
Most in vivo studies related to ruminal development in calves use invasive techniques involving rumen-fistulated or euthanized animals. In consideration of animal welfare, we developed an oral endoscopic biopsy procedure to allow the obtaining of rumen epithelial samples, thus serving as an alternat...
