“…In this regard, the fermented coconut husk has many potentials for use in beef cattle, particularly during the dry season when the rice straw is scarce. The results of this study are in line with Hoerbe et al (2020), which state that beef cattle have an optimum amount of fiber content that can be utilized properly to become ADG. The results of the study are also in line with the research of Tanh et al (2012), which states that giving rice straw in the feed will provide ADG 0.6 to 0.7.…”

“…The high consumption and digestibility in R2 are supported by the high digestibility level of crude fiber, which results in higher ADG than R1, R4, and R3. According to Hoerbe et al (2020), beef cattle can consume high-fiber feed.…”

“…Rice straw is an agricultural residue that is widely used for animal feed. Research using rice straw as animal feed has been carried out by several researchers such as Doolatabada et al (2020), Tayengwa et al (2020, Nassara et al (2019), Cherdthong et al (2021), Thanh (2012, Ware and Zinn (2005), Nuswantara et al (2020), Nuswantara et al (2005 and Hoerbe et al (2020). Rice straw is very potential to be used for livestock production in Indonesia.…”

The study aimed was to determine the effect of utilization coconut husk on blood metabolites and electrolytes of Brahman cross cattle. Sixteen Brahman cross beef cattle were used in the study. Four treatments, including R0, R1, R3, and R4 was applied in the study, and that every treatment consisted of four replications. The rations were made up of iso-protein and iso-energy, with 11% crude protein and 66% gross digestible nutrients. The treatment used was complete feed R1: fermented coconut husk supplementation of 15%, R2: supplementation of fermented coconut husk of 20%, R3: supplementation of fermented coconut husk of 25%, R4: 30% fermented coconut husk supplementation. This experiment was conducted for 90 days of treatment. The consumption of dry matter, organic matter, crude fiber, and crude protein were observed during the study. The digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude fiber, and crude protein were also observed during the experiment. Blood metabolites and electrolytes, and blood counts were all determined. The intake, digestibility, and average daily gain were superior at cattle fed with R2. Blood metabolites, electrolytes, and blood counts were not substantially different (P > 0.05) between the treatment groups. Overall, coconut husk may be used to replace rice straw for Brahman cross cattle.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of replacing a portion of whole-plant corn silage with straw on the rumen microbial community structure and carbohydrate-active enzyme activity. The experiment employed a single-factor randomized trial design, with eight late-lactation Chinese Holstein dairy cows being randomly divided into two groups of four replicates each. The control group (CS group) was fed a diet consisting of alfalfa silage and a mixture of alfalfa and whole-plant corn silage, while the experimental group (RS group) received a diet in which one-third of the corn silage was replaced with straw while keeping the other components unchanged. The experiment lasted for a total of 21 days, with a pre-feeding period of 14 days and a formal period of 7 days. The rumen fluid collected on day 21 was used for the rumen fermentation parameters and metagenomic analysis. The concentrations of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and total volatile fatty acids (TVFA) in the rumen of RS group cows were significantly lower than those in the CS group (p < 0.01). The ratio of acetic acid to propionic acid was significantly higher in the RS group compared to the CS group (p < 0.01). Metagenomic sequencing revealed that at the genus level, compared to the CS group, the abundance of unclassified bacteria, Bacteroides, Alistipes, Butyrivibrio, Chlamydia, Fibrobacter, unclassified Ruminococcaceae, and unclassified Bacteroidetes in the rumen of RS group cows increased, while the abundance of Eubacterium decreased ([LDA > 3.6], p < 0.05). Compared to the CS group, the enzymatic activities of α-L-arabinofuranosidase (EC3.2.1.55), β-xylosidase (EC3.2.1.37), β-glucosidase (EC3.2.1.21), β-glucosylceramidase (EC3.2.1.45), xylanase (EC3.2.1.8), and arabinanase (EC3.2.1.99) in the rumen of RS group cows increased (p < 0.05). According to the correlation analysis, Alistipes, Bacteroides, and Butyrivibrio showed a significant negative correlation with propionic acid (p < 0.05) and a significant positive correlation with the acetic acid-to-propionic acid ratio (p < 0.05). They also showed a significant positive correlation with GH2, GH3, GH20, GH29, GH43, GH78, GH92, CE1, GT4, β-glucosidase (EC3.2.1.21), α-L-arabinofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.55), β-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37), β-glucosylceramidase (EC 3.2.1.45), xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8), and arabinanase (EC 3.2.1.99) (p < 0.05). In summary, straw can not only alter the composition and structure of the rumen microbiota in cows but also affect the relative abundance of CAZymes at different levels within the rumen. Cows may, thus, potentially improve the degradation efficiency of straw diets by increasing the abundance of certain rumen microbiota and enzymes.
