In vitro gas production techniques simulate the rumen fermentation process and they have been used to evaluate the potential of feeds to supply nutrients to ruminants. Thus, effects of various levels of cobalt supplementation on gas production and rumen fermentation were investigated using an in vitro gas production technique. Ground samples (100 mg DM) of 70% wheat straw and 30% concentrate we...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect exogenous amylase on gas production, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), and digestion kinetics sorghum (Sorghum vulgaris) two corn hybrids different grain textures. Ruminal fluid collected from rumen-fistulated cows receiving or not (0.7g kg-1 (DM basis)), provided achieve 396 kilo Novo units for activity basis). Gas production m...

An in vitro gas production technique was used to investigate the associative effects of untreated or biologically-treated linen straw with berseem hay (H). The linen straw (LS) was biologically treated with white rot fungi (TLS). Ground samples (200 mg DM) of H, LS, TLS and the mixtures (50% w/w) of H + LS and H + TLS were incubated in 100 ml glass syringes with buffered rumen fluid. Cumulative...

gas hydrate formation in production and transmission pipelines and consequent plugging of these lines have been a major flow-assurance concern of the oil and gas industry for the last 75 years. gas hydrate formation rate is one of the most important topics related to the kinetics of the process of gas hydrate crystallization. the main purpose of this study is investigating phenomenon of gas hyd...

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of various amounts of treated sunflower meal (SFM) with extracted tannins from pistachio hulls on in vitro gas production and ruminal fermentation in ruminants. The SFM was treated with pistachio extract concentrate (PEC), which contained 111.40 g kg-1 total phenol and 71.30 g kg-1 total tannin per dry matter of e...

Time course measurements of in vitro gas production of feedstuffs incubated with buffered ruminal fluid give information about the rate at which the feed is fermented. To compare gas production kinetics from different feeds, a mathematical model was needed to describe the data. We investigated several existing models (exponential, logistic, Gompertz, Richards, Schnute), fitting them to 50 gas p...

different levels of grape pomace extract (ge) were evaluated for their effect on in vitro gas production and as well on some such ruminal fermentation parameters as apparent degraded substrate, volatile fatty acids (vfa), and microbial protein production, in sheep, as ruminal inoculum donor. as for extraction, dried grape pomace and distilled water were mixed in an equal weight ratio. ge was ad...

resistance of microencapsulated fish oil (mfo) in the rumen and its effects on fermentability of nutrients in the rumen was studied in 3 experiments. the key parameter in these studies was the amount of oil released from the microcapsules and their effects on gas production and rumen degradability in comparison with unprotected fish oil (fo). in the first experiment the effect of rumen and abom...
