Abstract
The present study was undertaken to use Foldscope for imaging and identification of rumen protozoa. Samples of rumen fluid were collected from healthy crossbred cows and stained with Lugol’s iodine and examined using Foldscope connected to a mobile. Based on morphology the protozoa were identified. Protozoa belonging to the genera Epidinium, Diplodinium, Enoploplastron, Ostracodinium, Eudiplodinum, Dasytricha, Blepharoconus, Metadinium, Isotricha were identified in healthy cattle using foldscope. This is the first report of imaging and identification of rumen protozoa using Foldscope. Foldscope is a paper microscope which can be used for imaging and identification of rumen protozoa at the field level by Veterinarians as it is handy and portable.
