Abstract: The experiment was carried out to compare the real impression between two different text methods in rumen pH.Four multiparous Chinese Holstein cows fitted with rumen cannulas were used to compare two different test methods in rumen pH of dairy cows,the two methods were simple pH meter (MANpH) and continuous recording wireless equipment (LRCpH).The results showed that there were no significant differences between two different test methods in rumen pH of dairy cows(P>0.05).Meanwhile,there were also no significant differences in 24 h observed value between MANpH and LRCpH(P>0.05).This experiment indicated that LRCpH wireless equipment not only could test rumen pH,but also could Real-time and continuous record the rumen pH after feeding.

Key words: simple pH meter; continuous recording wireless equipment; pH; dairy cow
