The effect of silkworms () chitosan on rumen fermentation, methanogenesis, and microbial population in vitro.

Background And Aim: Ruminant enteric methane (CH) is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. To minimize environmental harm caused by ruminants' CH production, natural substances can be used to suppress it. Chitosan from crustacean sources had been known to obstruct CH generation in the rumen.

Enhancing physicochemical, rheological properties, and in vitro rumen fermentation of starch with Melastoma candidum D. Don fruit extract.

The utilization of polyphenol-modified starch in ruminants has not undergone extensive exploration. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the complex formed between starch and Melastoma candidum D. Don fruit extract on physicochemical properties, phenol release kinetics in various buffers simulating the gastrointestinal tract, methane production, and post-rumen digestibility.

The effects of heat-moisture treatment on resistant starch levels in cassava and on fermentation, methanogenesis, and microbial populations in ruminants.

Background And Aim: Resistant starch (RS) is difficult to digest in the digestive tract. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of heat-moisture treatment (HMT) on RS in cassava and examined its impact on rumen fermentation.

Materials And Methods: Cassava flour was used as a raw material and used in a randomized block design with four different cycles of HMT as the treatments and four different rumen incubations as blocks.

Changes in rumen fermentation and bacterial profiles after administering as a probiotic.

Background And Aim: is one of the lactic acid bacteria that is often used as probiotics. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of TSD10 as a probiotic on rumen fermentation and microbial population in Ongole breed cattle.

Materials And Methods: This study adopted an experimental crossover design, using three-fistulated Ongole breed cattle.

Divergence effects between dietary Acacia and Quebracho tannin extracts on nutrient utilization, performance, and methane emission of ruminants: A meta-analysis.

Extracts of Acacia and Quebracho have been used as a feed additive in ruminant diets; the effects, however, have been varied. This study used a meta-analysis approach to evaluate the use of those extracts on nutrient utilization, performance, and methane production of ruminants. A database was developed from 37 published papers comprising 152 dietary treatments.
