The effects of rumen starch fermentation on urea and ammonia net fluxes across the ruminal wall were studied in four Texel wethers (67 $\pm$ 1.5 kg BW) fitted with catheters in both ruminal veins and in a mesenteric artery, blood flow probes on ruminal arteries, and a ruminal cannula. They were fed 500 g of orchardgrass hay every 12 h. A dose of 120 g of starch was added directly to the rumen either during the meal or 3 h later. On a daily basis, the time of starch supply did not modify the urea and ammonia net flux across the rumen wall. Within the feeding cycle, whatever the time of starch injection, the decrease in ruminal ammonia and pH and the increase in ruminal volatile fatty acids and CO$_2$ associated with starch fermentat...
