Popis: Effects of different inclusion levels of α-ketoglutaric acid (AKG; 0, 4, 8, and 12 mM) on gas production, ruminal microorganism fermentation and bacterial diversity were evaluated after 72 h in vitro incubations with buffered rumen fluid and wheat straw. Our results showed that the asymptote increased in a linear trend, while the lag time decreased linearly with higher AKG concentrations (P
