Abstract

The aim of the experiment is to find out the effect of garlic powder on the digestion coefficient and the rumen environment in vitro by adding four levels (0.0, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0) g/100 g of dry matter added to the mixture feed concentrate: roughage (40:60). Total gas was calculated in 24 hours. The digestibility was determined after 96 hours incubation . Results showed differences (p < 0.01) in the total gas and methane production, the lowest value for the treatment was 1.0 g/100g DM , the dry matter and organic matter digestibility significantly increased (p<0.01) T3 (2.0%) garlic powder with (61.28 and 79.87) respectively compared with control. Significant difference(p<0.01) between all treatments in total count of bacteria. Addition garlic powder to mix ration 60: 40 roughages : concentrate at the level 2.0 g/100 g DM improve dry and organic matter digestibility , increase total gas and decrease methane production.
