Description:	The ruminants represent an important segment of the economy farming world, The peculiar digestive system of these species, characterized by fermentation chambers with high storage capacity of the previous acid and enzyme digestion, allows them to use efficiently foods rich in cellulose, or even the non-protein nitrogen as an aminoacids precursor‘. These features make the rumen development of drug delivery systems based on polycaprolactone (PCL) a very promising strategy for improving on the productive system, since this polymer in addition to low cost has already been successfylly used in other species for drug delivery of drugs. promoters growth and micronutrients”. This work aims to characterize PCL front of rumen fermentation. PCL pellets (Aldrich 181,609) were properly packed in bags of nylon with porosity of 50 um and placed in the rumen of three fistulated cows for 24 and 216 hours.
