The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the impact of various doses of microencapsulated lemongrass and mangosteen peel (MELM) on gas dynamics, rumen fermentation, degradability, methane production, and microbial population in in vitro gas experiments. With five levels of microencapsulated-phytonutrient supplementation at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4% of substrate, 0.5 g of roughage, and a concentrate ratio of 60:40, the trial was set up as a completely randomized design. Under investigation, the amount of final asymptotic gas volume was corresponding responded to completely digested substrate (b) increased cubically as a result of the addition of MELM (P < 0.01) and a cubic rise in cumulative gas output. The amount of MELM form did not change the pH and NH3-N concentration of the rumen after 12 and 24 h of incubation. However, methane production during 24 h of incubation, the levels were cubically decreased with further doses of MELM (P < 0.01) at 12 h of incubation. Increasing the dosage of MELM supplementation at 2% DM resulted in a significant increase in the digestibility of in vitro neutral detergent fiber (IVNDF) and in vitro true digestibility (IVTD) at various incubation times (P < 0.05), but decreased above 3% DM supplementations. Moreover, the concentration of propionic acid (C3) exhibited the variations across the different levels of MELM (P < 0.05), with the maximum concentration obtained at 2% DM. The populations of Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus albus, Ruminococcus flavefaciens, and Megasphaera elsdenii revealed a significant increase (P < 0.05), while the quantity of Methanobacteriales decreased linearly with increasing doses of MELM. In conclusion, the inclusion of MELM at a concentration of 2% DM in the substrate which could enhance cumulative gas production, NDF and true digestibility, C3 production, and microbial population, while reducing methane concentration and Methanobacterial abundance.
本研究旨在评估不同剂量微囊化柠檬草和山竹果皮(MELM)对体外产气试验中气体动力学、瘤胃发酵、可降解性、甲烷生成和微生物种群的影响。采用完全随机设计,以底物的 0、1、2、3 和 4%的微囊化-植物营养素添加水平(0.5 克粗饲料,浓缩物比例为 60:40)进行试验。研究发现,最终渐近气体体积的量与完全消化的底物(b)呈立方关系增加,这是由于添加 MELM(P < 0.01)和累积气体产量的立方增加。MELM 形式的添加量在 12 和 24 小时孵育后不会改变瘤胃的 pH 值和 NH3-N 浓度。然而,在 24 小时孵育期间,甲烷生成水平随着 MELM 剂量的进一步增加呈立方下降(P < 0.01)。在 12 小时孵育时,2% DM 水平的 MELM 补充剂用量增加会显著提高体外中性洗涤剂纤维(IVNDF)和体外真实消化率(IVTD)的消化率(P < 0.05),但超过 3% DM 补充时则会降低。此外,丙酸(C3)的浓度在不同 MELM 水平之间表现出变化(P < 0.05),在 2% DM 时获得最大浓度。纤维丁酸弧菌、白色瘤胃球菌、黄色瘤胃球菌和巨球形菌的数量显著增加(P < 0.05),而甲烷杆菌的数量随着 MELM 剂量的增加呈线性下降。总之,在底物中添加 2% DM 的 MELM 可以提高累积气体产量、NDF 和真实消化率、C3 产量和微生物种群,同时降低甲烷浓度和甲烷杆菌丰度。
