Cows were given once a day restricted feed (80% of ad libitum intake) of 7 kg DM with two successive diets. Diet HB was 65% Cocksfoot hay and 35% pelleted ground barley, and Diet H was 100% Cocksfoot hay. Samples of whole ruminal contents were taken 2, 5, 8, 11, and 23 h after feeding for Diet HB and 2 h after feeding for Diet H to isolate the liquid-associated protozoa and bacteria (LAP, LAB) and particle-associated bacteria (PAB). At each sampling time, the AA compositions of the different microbial populations were determined. The AA pro-files of the LAP were different from those of the bacteria for 13 AA out of 17 studied. Differences between AA compositions of LAB and PAB were also observed for 10 AA out of 17 studied. Irrespective of the microbial population, AA composition did not vary with sampling time after feeding diet HB ( P > .05; except for arginine, glutamate, and glycine). The AA contents of none of the three microbial populations were affected ( P > .05) by the diet except for leucine and glutamate ( P < .01). The differences in AA profiles between LAP and bacteria and between LAB and PAB confirm the importance of the representativeness of the microbial reference sample for correctly estimating microbial AA flow into the small intestine.</p></div>
