the comparison of in vitro digestibility of wheat straw by rumen anaerobic fungi of khuzestan buffalo and holstein cattle

this study was conducted to compare digestibility of wheat straw (ws) by fungi and whole rumen microorganisms (wrm). dry matter (dm), neutral and acid detergent fiber (ndf and adf) digestibility of ws were compared with in vitro digestion (ivd), gas production (gp) and specific rumen anaerobic fungi culture (srafc). dry matter, ndf and adf digestibility of ws by wrm of buffalo (60.80, 49.93 and 17.45%, respectively) were more than cattle (53.00, 38.63 and 10.62%, respectively) (p0.05), ndf and adf by buffalo (51.03, 44.41 and 12.09%) was more than cattle (48.04, 36.34 and 8.76) (p
