Microbiology of a stomach of a wild ruminant, Any use of it?
Hi friends,
I am new in the group, and I started to be more enthusiastic about the method of natural farming only last year. I have a content of o wild ruminant animal at my home, and I was thinking that it is absolutely wonderful source of local microbiology, probably even historically this way may a local microbiology be transmitted from generation to generation. I have look on it in microscope, and it is quite a dense sample full of many microbes and amoebas I have never seen before.
Somebody has experience how this material may be used for regenerative practice the most useful way?

Drake teaches a set process for working with indigenous microbes. Make IMO 1, capture the microbes, make the seed IMO, preserve it in sugar, propagate it, then activate it with your soil and put it out. (Office Hours Ep. 54, 52:00)
To collect IMO, Cho has you bury a box of cooked rice in the local bamboo field or leaf moulds nearest the working field. (Cho, Recipe, p. 11)
Cho adds one caution. Anaerobic microbes are indigenous too. If they are the majority, he says to collect again in a drier spot. (Cho, Recipe, p. 11)
Drake tells a brand new newbie to start with JMS before IMO. He says you can't mess it up. (Office Hours Ep. 68, 1:01:00)
The library says nothing about rumen or stomach contents, or whether they fit this process.
