Rumen Ciliate Fauna of Alaskan Moose ( Alces americana), Musk‐Ox (Ovibos moschatus) and Dall Mountain Sheep (Ovis dalli)*
SYNOPSIS Total numbers, generic distribution and percentage species distribution were determined for the ciliate protozoa in rumen contents obtained from Alaskan moose ( Alces americana ), musk‐ox (Ovibos moschatus) and Dall mountain sheep (Ovis dalli) . The musk‐ox has a fauna somewhat similar to t...
