Effects of wheat bran replacement with Pomegranate Seed Pulp on rumen fermentation, gas production, Methanogen and Protozoa population of camel and goat rumen using competitive PCR technique: An in Vitro Study
Abstract:This study aimed to investigate the effect of PSP (Pomegranate Seed Pulp) on rumen fermentation, digestibility, and methanogens and protozoa population (by competitive PCR) of the camel and goat rumen fluid. Treatments included 0, 5 and 10% PSP replaced wheat bran. Rumen fluid was collected from 3 goats and 2 camels according to the similarity of sex, breed, origin and time and used for three gas production tests. DNA extraction was performed by RBB + c method, band intensities (target and competing DNA) were … Show more
