abstract             the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ajowan essential oils (aeo) on rumen fermentation using in vitro gas production. therefore, different doses of aeo (i.e., 0, 150, 300, 450 or 600 ppm) were added to the syringes of the gas production. a typical diet of growing lambs was used as fermentation substrate.  at the first step, the gas production syringes were in...

The aim of present study was to assess the effects of individual various essential plant oils on chemical composition, aerobic stability and fermentation characteristics of corn silage and in vitro rumen fermentation and methane emission using gas production technique. Whole crop corn was harvested and ensiled in laboratory scale tubes (4±0.25 kg) for 45 days. Treatments consisted of either cor...

The effect of grape pomace (Vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (Quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (OMD) and in situ dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to deactivate the tannins. In vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...

This study was carried out to investigate the potential fermentation properties of juçara pulp, using pH-controlled anaerobic batch cultures reflective of the distal region of the human large intestine. Effects upon major groups of the microbiota were monitored over 24h incubations by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) were measured by HPLC. Phenolic compo...

This study evaluated the effect of Candida norvegensis (C. norvegensis) viable yeast culture on in vitro ruminal fermentation of oat straw. Ruminal fluid was mixed with buffer solution (1:2) and anaerobically incubated with or without yeast at 39°C for 0, 4, 8, 16, and 24 h. A fully randomized design was used. There was a decrease in lactic acid (quadratic, p = 0.01), pH, (quadratic, p = 0.02),...

the present experiment aimed at increasing orange peel and sugar beet pulp protein content through solid-state fermentation by trichoderma reesei and trichoderma viride. in vitro digestibility and changes in the chemical composition of the fermented products were determined after seven days of fungal cultivation using gas production tests. the cultivation of t. reesei and t. viride on orange pe...

Effect of Activated Charcoal on the Fermentation Parameters and Degradability Contaminated Diet with Aflatoxin B1 by Microorganisms Isolated from Rumen In Vitro

the objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of different doses of some 7 natural semi-arid medicinal plants’ essential oils on in vitro ruminal digestion and fermentation patterns of a mid-forage (alfalfa hay: concentrates, 1:1) diet. treatments consisted of either basal diet alone (control) or added with 35, 70, 140 or 280 µl l-1 of coriander, oregano, caraway, cumin, cinn...

background to current knowledge, different oocyte's recovery method and various seasons have profound impact on in vitro embryo production (ivep). objectives the aim of this study was to define an efficient recovery method for oocytes harvesting from slaughterhouse material in different seasons, and their effects on ivep yield. materials and methods ovaries from slaughtered ewes in breeding sea...
