Study of Local Herb Potency as Rumen Modifier: The Effect of Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale Var.Rubrum) on Parameters of Ruminal Fermentation In Vitro

Effect of Ginger Essential Oil on in Vitro Gas Production, Rumen Fermentation and Methane Production

“…The organic components existing in GEO are reported to show an antibacterial effect by breaking the cell wall structure of microorganisms as it is in other essential oils (Sharma et al 2016;Mahboubi 2019). It can be stated that the development of rumen microorganisms is limited via a similar mechanism (Tag El-Din et al 2012;Soroor & Moeini 2015;Kurniawati et al 2018;Mekuiko Watsop et al 2018) and, depending on this, in vitro gas production decreases.…”

“…The decrease in the in vitro gas production occurring depending on the increase in the GEO dose added to RL can be explained by the antimicrobial features of active components existing in the structure of GEO and, as a result of this, their limiting rumen microorganisms (Chao et al 2000 et al (2015) showed that GEO addition (1600 mg/kg DM) affected the in vitro gas production negatively. The positive effect of the GEO added to RL on the digestibility of feeds can be explained by the GEO's showing antimicrobial activity against microorganisms (Tag El-Din et al 2012;Kurniawati et al 2018;Mekuiko Watsop et al 2018). The organic components existing in GEO are reported to show an antibacterial effect by breaking the cell wall structure of microorganisms as it is in other essential oils (Sharma et al 2016;Mahboubi 2019).…”

“…These parameters significantly decreased with increasing level of GEO supplementation. It can be explained by the finding that the GEO added to RL in increasing doses caused a low level of in vitro gas production by showing antimicrobial effect (Tag El-Din et al 2012;Kurniawati et al 2018;Mekuiko Watsop et al 2018;Mahboubi 2019). However, Soroor & Moeini (2015) found that the GEO increased the in vitro gas production.…”

“…It is reported that the GEO with above-mentioned features will be used to manipulate the rumen fermentation (Soroor & Moeini 2015;Faniyi et al 2016;Kurniawati et al 2018;Mekuiko Watsop et al 2018;Faniyi et al 2019). Moreover, it was also determined that the GEO has an effect on the digestibility of feeds, metabolisable energy (ME) and methane (CH4) production (Nanon et al 2015;Soroor & Moeini 2015;Kurniawati et al 2018;Mekuiko Watsop et al 2018;Faniyi et al 2019). For this reason, it is important to reveal the effects of GEO on rumen fermentation, digestion of feeds and the CH4 production in rumen.…”

Survey Pemanfaatan Medicinal Herbs untuk Peningkatan Produktivitas dan Kesehatan Ternak Ruminansia di Bengkulu

“…Penggunaan jahe sebagai obat tradisional tidak hanya dipakai oleh masyarakat Indonesia, tapi juga di negara berkembang lainnya dan bahkan negara maju. Zat aktif yang terkandung pada jahe seperti gingerol, camphene, curcumin, alpha-zingiberene mampu menstimulasi sistem pencernaan sehingga meningkatkan absobsi pakan/makanan, mencegah kembung, melancarkan sirkulasi darah (Zadeh and Kor, 2014), memelihara fungsi rumen (Al-Azazi et al, 2018), meningkatkan efisiensi nitrogen dan jumlah protozoa rumen (Kurniawati et al, 2018).…”
