Effect of the fermented total mixed ration on in-vitro gas production and digestibility in cattle

Abstract

In this study, Experiments were conducted to evaluate the fermented total mixed ration (FTMR) and total mixed ration (TMR) by rumen in in vitro fermentation technique and their effects on methane (CH4) emission and digestibility measurement. Ruminal samples were collected from ruminal digesta and grind TMR feed used as a substrate. There were four diets, one was without molasses-yeast mixture (control), another was in addition of molasses at 0.1% inclusion rate (T1) and the other two were in addition of molasses-yeast mixture at 0.1% (T2) and 0.3% (T3) inclusion rate. The present study indicated that there was significant (p
