Effects of antibacterial peptides on rumen fermentation function and rumen microorganisms in goats

Effects of dietary starch types on rumen fermentation and blood profile in goats

The objective of the present study was to investigate how feeding a diet containing a type of purified starch entirely produced from normal or high amylose maize grains would affect rumen fermentation and blood profile in goats. Twenty rumen-cannulated growing goats were assigned equally to one of two dietary treatments according to a randomized controlled trial design and fed two total mixed r...

Investigating the Effects of Cadmium on Rumen Microbial Fermentation and Nutrient Digestibility Using Gas Production

Effects of different levels of cadmium (0.1, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 mg/l of culture medium) were evaluated using gas production technique. In the glass vials used to measure gas production 30 mg of buffered rumen fluid (2:1 ratio of rumen fluid: buffer) poured in glass and cultured at 38.6 temperature. Volume and pressure of produced gas were measured with syringes and digital pressur...

Effects of Feeding Fats on Rumen Fermentation and Milk Composition

Milk yields of high-producing dairy cattle demand that energy intake be maximized. Energy intake is not only important during the period of peak milk production but also must be sufficient to maintain persistency of production and support body weight gain following peak milk yield. To increase ration energy density, cereal grains are used to replace forages, but this practice is limited since a...
