The artificial stimulator comprises a compressible or collapsible resilient structure having a plurality of outwardly directed fingers or prongs for massaging the inside wall of the rumen. The stimulator structure is collapsed and inserted within a retaining tube for oral administration to the ruminant. Once inside the rumen the fluids therein attack the restraining tube to release the stimulator which then expands due to its own resilience to a size sufficiently large to be retained within the rumen for the remaining life of the ruminant.,下面是Artificial rumen stimulator and method of administering same专利的具体信息内容。

1. In an artificial rumen stimulator for oral administration to ruminants for stimulating the walls of the rumen, a compressible resilient rumen stimulator means which is made of a material which is relatively inert to fluids normally found in the rumen, said compressible stimulator means having free standing dimensions too large to be orally administered readily to the ruminant, and having dimensions in the compressed state that will readily allow said compressed stimulator means to be orally administered to the ruminant, said orally administrable resilient stimulator means being extensionable due to its own resilience from the compressed dimensions to essentially the free standing dimensions within the rumen for stimulating the walls of the rumen and for being retained within the rumen.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 including, means for retaining said compressed stimulator means in the compressed state for oral administration to the ruminant and for selectively releasing said stimulator means from the compressed state for expansion thereof within the rumen.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said retaining means includes a hollow body portion to receive therewithin said compressed rumen stimulator means for oral administation, said hollow body portion being openable by the action of the rumen fluids on said retaining means to release said compressed stimulator means within the rumen.
4. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said retaining means comprises a tubular member made of paper.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said rumen stimulator means includes a plurality of flexible resilient elongated fingers generally outwardly directed relative to said stimulator, said fingers having outer end portions for engaging the inside wall of the rumen for stimulating said rumen.
6. An artificial rumen stimulator for more thorough rapid processing of a relatively greater volume of food by a ruminant comprising, an orally administrable structure, said structure being collapsible into a collapsed state for ingestion and being capable of extension from the collapsed state to an extended state within the rumen to engage the inside wall of the rumen for stimulation thereof.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said structure includes a collapsible portion made of a flexible resilient material.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said rumen stimulator structure includes a plurality of flexible resilient elongated fingers generally outwardly directed of the structure, said fingers having outer end portions for engaging the inside wall of the rumen for stimulating said rumen.
9. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the ruminant is of the bovine family and said rumen stimulator structure is dimensioned to be sufficiently large in the extended state to physically prevent passage thereof from the rumen.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said rumen stimulator in the extended state has minimum overall outside transverse dimensions of at least 3 inches.
11. In a method of stimulating the inside wall of the rumen of a ruminant to negate the necessity for adding roughage to its ration the step of, orally administering to the ruminant at least one collapsed artificial rumen stimulator structure, and extending the administered collapsed stimulator structure within the rumen for engaging the inside wall of the rumen for stimulation thereof.
12. The method of claim 11 including the step of collapsing the rumen stimulator structure, and retaining the stimulator structure in the collapsed state for oral administration.
13. The method of claim 11 wherein said stimulator structure includes a plurality of outwardly extending flexible resilient projections for massaging the inside wall of the rumen.
14. The method of claim 11 wherein said stimulator structure has overall transverse dimensions in the expanded state too large to pass from the rumen.
15. The method of claim 12 wherein the step of retaining the stimulator in the collapsed state for oral administration includes the step of, inserting the collapsed stimulator within an annular retaining structure which is rresponsive to the action of rumen liquids for effecting release of the retaining force of said retaining structure on said stimulator to effect release and extension of said stimulator within the rumen.
16. The method of claim 13 wherein said projections are elongated and orthogonally directed to each other.
17. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the longitudinal axis of each pair of said elongated fingers lies along a different one of a set of three mutually orthogonal axes.
