Gas production and in vitro degradability of sheep diets containing propolis ethanolic extract

Abstract: SUMMARY This study evaluated the influence of the propolis ethanolic extract (PEE) on gas production and in vitro degradability of sheep diets. Five experimental diets (treatments) were evaluated: without addition of PEE; 6 mL PEE; 12 mL PEE; 24 mL PEE and 36 mL PEE/kg concentrate. The experimental diet consisted of 50% elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and 50% concentrate. There was a quadratic effect (P <0.05) for the volumes of total gas production (Vt), gases produced by the rapid degradation fracti… Show more

“…In this way, the increase of NFC and reduction of the amount of FC to be fermented may have maximized the performance of the cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic bacteria, increasing Vf1. This result differs from those of Araujo et al (2018), who analyzed in vitro gas production with increasing levels of a propolis ethanolic extract in diets containing 50% corn and soybean concentrate and 50% elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach. ), finding no change in the production of gases from FC.…”

“…Some studies have shown that propolis is effective in increasing the intestinal digestibility of crude protein, reducing ruminal ammonia nitrogen (NH 3 -N) production (Aguiar et al, 2014a), and improving the productive performance of lambs (Ítavo et al, 2019). Furthermore, propolis inhibits in vitro total gas production (Araújo et al, 2018), reduces ruminal ciliate protozoa in buffaloes (Paula et al, 2016), and inhibits the growth of certain rumen bacterial strains in vitro (Aguiar et al, 2013(Aguiar et al, , 2014b. However, despite these findings, little is known about the effects of propolis on food products (meat and milk) obtained from these animals.…”
