Ruminal dry matter disappearance, total gas and methane production, and fermentation parameters as affected by fat and protein concentration in by-product supplemented grass hay-based diets
Abstract:Context Dietary manipulation is an important means to mitigate methane emissions; however, relatively few options exist for forage-based diets. Aims This batch culture study evaluated the effects of crude protein (CP) and fat concentration on ruminal DM disappearance (DMD), total gas (GP) and methane production, and ruminal fermentation in grass hay-based diets supplemented with a range of by-product feeds. Methods Eight treatments provided low or high CP (8 or 12% diet DM, respectively), with ra… Show more
