Gas production, protozoa counts and several other physiological parameters were measured from both rumen and caecum or colon contents. Only higher ophryoscolecid and Isotrichidae species of protozoa were counted and identified. Ostracodinium gracile was present in all 32 impala. Eudiplodinium maggii was present in 31 animals and Eudiplodinium impalae and Epidinium (either ecaudatum or caudatum) in 30 animals. Dasytricha ruminantium was present in only 11 of the impala. Concentrations of protozoa were correlated with the season of sample collection and highly correlated with the animals living on the game farm. Gas production (mL\/g of wet rumen ingesta) was weakly correlated with protozoa concentration but not with the season of collection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/ojvr.v78i1.327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,12]],"date-time":"2011-10-12T12:30:52Z","timestamp":1318422652000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Protozoa and digestive tract parameters of the impala"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"Dirk","family":"Booyse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Burk A.","family":"Dehority","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","article-title":"Rumen protozoa in South African sheep with a summary of the worldwide distribution of sheep protozoa","author":"Booyse, D.G., Dehority, B.A.,","journal-title":"Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.11646\/zootaxa.2492.1.4","article-title":"Protozoa in the digestive tract of wild herbivores in South Africa.
