Abstrakt: The article discusses a study to evaluate the persistence and lytic activity of Escherichia coli 0157 bacteriophages including rV5, wV8 and wV11 in ruminal fluid from forage and concentrate-fed cattle with the help of batch culture incubation model. The study revealed that in vitro pH, gas production and dry matter disappearance was not altered by the bacteriophages in ruminal fluid. The study also revealed that all bacteriophages were able to persist in ruminal fluid.
