The higher mean of mesophils and staphylococci was found in the rumenal fluid of goat. While higher mean of psachrophils,, colzform and fungi count was observed in the rumenal fluid of cow. Significant mean difference among microbial population in the rumenal fluid was observed among cow, goat and buffalo concerning the mesophils bacteria. Also significant mean difference was observed in Escherchia coli mean count among goat, buffalo and cow rumenal fluid microbial population .There was no significant difference in the mean count of mesophils, coliform, staphylococci and fungi.
