Effect of dietarysupplementation with treated amaranth seeds on fermentation parameters in an artificial rumen

Effect of white-rot basidiomycetes-treated wheat straw on rumen fermentation in artificial rumen.

This study evaluated three white-rot basidiomycetes for their potential to improve the ruminal degradation of wheat straw. Pleurotus ostreatus (PO), Pleurotus ostreatus-mutant (PO-M) and Trametes gibbosa (TG) were incubated on wheat straw for 30 days at 28 degrees C. Neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), crude protein and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) were deter...

effect of replacing corn silage by amaranth silage on weight gain, rumen fermentation and blood parameters in fattening moghani lambs

fifty moghani male lambs with mean body weight of 28±1.9 kg were investigated in a completely randomized design for 98 days to assess the effect of replacing corn silage (cs) by amaranth silage (as) on weight gain, rumen fermentation and blood parameters. five iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous diets, in which cs replaced by different levels of as (0, 75, 150, 225, or 300 g/kg of diet dm), were ...

Effect of microbial oil, monensin and fumarate on rumen fermentation in artificial rumen

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of microbial oil on rumen fermentation of a diet composed of 60% hay and 40% barley in an artificial rumen (Rusitec). Microbial oil (MO) was produced by the fungus Thamnidium elegans. This fungus grew on the wheat bran/spent malt grains (3:1) mixture. The fatty acid composition of microbial oil was as follows: 0.7% C14:0, 15.4% C16:0, 10...

Effects of a diet containing whole cottonseed on rumen protozoal population and fermentation parameters in sheep

The Effects of Use Medicinal Plants on Rumen Fermentation Parameters in Ruminants

Rumen is a persistent and specific ecosystem consists of bacteria, protozoa and fungus where feed fermentation takes place in it. Produced Hydrogen in rumen can be used in the synthesis of the volatile fatty acids and the microbial protein and its excess would be eliminated through the production of Methane by methanogenesis. Nutritionists have tried to find ways to decrease loss and energy and...
