KOSTOV, Y. and V. ALEXANDROVA, 2009. Electric stimulation of rumen in calves. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 15: 100-103
The effects of telemetric registration and electric stimulation on rumen motility were studied in calves up to 2 months of age. Electric impulses were found to exercise a positive effect on the frequency of rumen contractions and their total motility. Experiments were carried out on both clinically healthy calves and calves with gastrointestinal disorders.
