Abstract:The study evaluated the effect addition of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) essential oil as a feed additive on methane production, rumen fermentation parameters, rumen enzyme activity, and nutrient digestibility in vitro. This study was divided into three treatments based on the level addition of nutmeg essential oil, including 0 µL/L (T0), 100 µL/L (T2), and 200 µL/L. The composition of feed substrate was king grass as forage and concentrate with a ratio of 60:40. Feed fermentation was carried out using th… Show more
