A study was made of the influence of chloral hydrate on some rumen processes. Several oral therapeutics against ketosis decreased the digestion of cellulose by rumen microorganisms in vitro. Chloral hydrate was most effective in this respect. Several chloral hydrate derivatives were screened for their capacity to inhibit the fermentation of Solka-Floc BW-40 in vitro, to find promising compounds for possible control of ketosis.
