Conteúdo: 	The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of diet composition on the chitin content of both ruminal fluid and digesta solids as an index of the fungal population in the rumen. Significant differences of the chitin content of both SRF and PLP samples between two different diets not only showed the effect of the diet on the level of this fungal marker in the rumen but also indicates the validity of the assay to demonstrate this difference. Therefore, the increase in the level of rumen chitin in the MHC diet compared with the LHC diet must be due to the increased proportion of hay in the diet, which seems to favour fungal development over pelleted lucerne. Whether the differences in the levels of chitin in the rumen of animals fed different diets is a consequence of the indirect effect on fungal population or antagonists needs to be elucidated.
