Popis: | The effects when adding cyclodextrin-iodopropane complex (CD-IP) to a diet, on ruminal fermentation and microbes, digestibility, blood metabolites and methane production, were evaluated using four Holstein steers in a cross-over design. The steers were fed Sudangrass hay plus concentrate mixture at a ratio 1.5:1, and CD-IP (1% of dry matter) was given twice daily by mixing with concentrate mixture. Rumen and blood samples were collected at 0, 2, and 5 h after morning dosing. Ruminal pH and numbers of protozoa were unaffected by CD-IP treatment. Ruminal molar proportion of acetate was decreased (P |
