title: Occurrence of the ciliate protozoa Bütschlia parva Schuberg in the rumen of the ovine.
abstract: The holotrich ciliate protozoa, Bütschlia parva Schuberg, has been observed in the rumen of the ovine. Limited data suggest that the concentration of B. parva in the rumen follows a diurnal cycle similar to that of the other holotrichs.
