Effects of herbal plant supplementation on rumen fermentation profiles and protozoan population .

Background And Aim: In the livestock sector, particularly ruminants, an approach to minimize methane emissions can be carried out through a feeding strategy involving herbal plants containing bioactive compounds that can reduce protozoa and decrease methane gas emissions. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of herbal plant supplementation on rumen fermentation, total gas, and methane production, dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), organic matter digestibility (IVOMD), and protozoa populations within the rumen.

Materials And Methods: Two experiments were conducted in this study.

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%.

Nutrient digestibility, characteristics of rumen fermentation, and microbial protein synthesis from Pesisir cattle diet containing non-fiber carbohydrate to rumen degradable protein ratio and sulfur supplement.

Background And Aim: To achieve optimal feed efficiency in ruminants, especially Pesisir cattle, it is necessary to maintain a harmonious equilibrium between energy and protein levels within the rumen. Sulfur supplementation can potentially escalate the energy-protein balance in the rumen. The aim of this study was to explore the formulation of ruminant diets by synchronizing rumen degradable protein (RDP) and non-fiber carbohydrate (NFC) while adding sulfur minerals at different levels.

Effectiveness of herbal plants on rumen fermentation, methane gas emissions, nutrient digestibility, and population of protozoa.

Background And Aim: Herbal plants have the potential to reduce the population of metagonic bacteria and protozoa due to the bioactive compound contained in herbal plants. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of herbal plant supplementation on rumen fermentation characteristics, methane (CH) gas emissions, nutrient digestibility, and protozoan populations.

Materials And Methods: This study consisted of two stages.
