| Abstract |
Global warming attributed by the livestock sector has been increasingly important especially from the enteric fermentation of ruminants. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of Bamboo grass (Tiliacora triandra, Diels.) pellet (Bamboo-Cass) supplementation on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, rumen microbial population and methane production in Thai native beef cattle. Four, Thai native beef cattle bulls (190 ± 2 kg) were randomly allotted to four respective dietary treatments in a 4 × 4 Latin square design. Treatments were the varying levels of Bamboo-Cass supplementation at 0, 50, 100, and 150 g/h/d, respectively. Rice straw was fed ad libitum and the concentrate offered at 0.5 % of body weight. Under this experiment, the findings revealed that acetate and butyrate production were decreased (P < 0.05), propionate increased (P < 0.05), whilst ruminal NH3-N concentration was decreased (P < 0.05) by supplementation of Bamboo-Cass at 150 g/h/d. Moreover, rice straw intake, and microbial population were linearly increased (P < 0.05), while methane production was decreased (P < 0.05). The results from the present study indicate that supplementation of Bamboo-Cass at 150 g/h/d significantly enhanced feed intake, decreased protozoa and increased bacterial population, rumen fermentation efficiency while decreased methane production. Therefore, Bamboo-Cass as a supplement is promising as a rumen enhancer in beef cattle fed on rice straw. |
