Abstract: Wheat gluten protein was added to the diet of goats to determine the changes of rumen movements with the rumen dynamic determination device. Compared with control period, the results of four goats in experiment period showed that, the average contract power of the goat’s rumen was significantly increased by 31.2%(P<0.05),the average of rumen peristalsis continued time were prolonged significantly by 34.1%(P<0.05)in 15 minutes. As a contrast, rumen peristalsis frequency of the goats was decreased remarkably by 25.1%(P<0.05). The determination device of rumen movement could sensitively observe change regulations of ruman movements in goats. At the same time, activities of opioid peptides from gluten protein degradated by rumen microbes were detected with the device of intestine of rabbits cultured in vitro. This provides theoretical base for the study on the control of rumen metabolism in ruminants.
