Effect of Vitamin - Mineral Supplementation in Commercial Feed on the Digestibility Coefficient and Rumen Fermentation of Bali Cattle

Abstract: The aim of this study was to find out the influence of vitamin-mineral supplementation on digestibility and rumen fermentation in Bali cattle. The randomized block design with 4 treatments and 4 replications were used in the research. In this study was used 16 Bali cattle with body weight around 295.31+23.07 kg. Rations used in the treatments were Treatment A (control): rice straw ad libitum plus commercial feed; Treatment B: Treatment A ration plus 0.2% vitamin-mineral in commercial feed; Treatment C: Treatme… Show more

“…Propionic acid and butyric acid compete with methane for hydrogen during fermentation, reducing methane energy consumption while improving energy supply ( Pragna et al, 2018 ). Acetic acid and butyric acid originate mainly from the fermentation of fiber, whereas propionic acid derives from the fermentation of sugar and starch ( Astawa et al, 2011 ). In this study, VFAs and propionic acid were highest in the rumen of MAL animals, suggesting that feed efficiency might be better in this than in the other groups.…”

“…Supplementation with minerals can improve rumen microbial activity in the metabolism of carbohydrates and protein in the rumen, so that the rumen fermentation process would be more efficient. The SCFA produced in the rumen will increase and in turn lead more nutrient availability for microbes and animals (Astawa et al, 2011). Moreover, Kamra (2005) stated that availability of minerals like Zn and S in the rumen will improve ruminal fermentation.…”

“…Digestibility and performance can be maximized with the addition of precursor nutrients such as minerals (Astawa et al, 2011). Bal and Ozturk (2006) stated that the macro minerals (P, Ca and Mg) and micro minerals (Cu, Co, Zn, Mn and S) play an important role in protein synthesis of rumen microbes, feed degradation and various microbial enzyme activators.…”
