Identification of phytase producing bacteria from acidifying : Potential for ruminant feed development.

Phytate content in feed ingredients can negatively impact digestibility and palatability. To address this issue, it is necessary to study microbes capable of breaking down phytate content. This study aimed to isolate and characterize phytase-producing bacteria from decaying materials rich in phytic acid.

Nutrition profile and rumen fermentation of fermented with at different times and doses.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the nutritional composition and rumen fermentation attributes of the tithonia plant () treated with bacteria at different fermentation durations and doses.

Materials And Methods: In this research, an experimental approach employed a factorial pattern with two factors as treatments with three replications using a complete randomized design. The primary factor was the dose of inoculum, with concentrations at 2% and 3%.

Mineral status of soil, sea water, and mangrove () forages in several coastal areas of West Sumatra.

Background And Aim: The availability of minerals in the soil affect the mineral content of mangrove leaves. This study aimed to determine the macro- and micromineral contents in the environment and mangrove leaves () as animal feed in the coastal areas of West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Materials And Methods: In this study, soil, water, and mangrove leaves were extracted from the mangrove plant's environment.
