Effect of Ruminal pH Alteration on Digestion in Steers Fed a High Concentrate Diet
Mature Angus steers were intraruminally infused with base to increase ruminal pH. Base infusions, increasing rumen pH from 5.8 to 6.2, did not change duodenal pH but tended to reduce fecal pH. Increased ruminal pH tended to increase digestion of fiber (9 percent) but reduced ruminal digestion of starch by 18 percent (P> .05). Ruminal pH and ruminal starch digestion were negatively correlated (P...
متن کاملEffect of virginiamycin on ruminal fermentation in cattle during adaptation to a high concentrate diet and during an induced acidosis.
The objective of Exp. 1 was to compare the effects of virginiamycin (VM; 0, 175, or 250 mg x animal(-1) x d(-1)) and monensin/tylosin (MT; 250/ 90 mg x animal(-1) x d(-1)) on ruminal fermentation products and microbial populations in cattle during adaptation to an all-concentrate diet. Four ruminally cannulated, Holstein steers were used in a 4x4 Williams square design with 21-d periods. Steers...
متن کاملRuminal Methane Emission, Microbial Population and Fermentation Characteristics in Sheep as Affected by Malva sylvestris Leaf Extract: in vitro Study
The objective of this study was to investigate in vitro effect of Malva sylvestris leaf extract (at 0, 25, 50 and 100 µL/30 mL of medium) on sheep ruminal cellulolytic and total viable bacteria growth, protozoa populations, methane production, neutral detergent fiber degradability (NDFD) and fermentation efficiency of oat hay. The addition of Malva sylvestris leaf extract at 25, 50 and 100 µL l...
متن کاملEffects of fiber source on apparent digestibility and ruminal fermentation parameters in sheep fed high-concentrate diets
Sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). Diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, T1), 35% wheat straw (T2), 35% barley straw (T3) or 35% maize straw (T4). Total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...
متن کاملVitamin E is not degraded by ruminal microorganisms: assessment with ruminal contents from a steer fed a high-concentrate diet.
Using an in vitro incubation system containing undiluted ruminal contents from a steer fed a high-concentrate, corn-based diet, we examined microbial degradation of DL-alpha-tocopherol acetate (TA). Gas production, pH, and fermentation acid profiles were done in an initial experiment to ensure conditions for reproducible, viable cultures over 24 h. The pH decreased from 5.7 to 4.9, gas producti...
