Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The in vitro gas production with MO and M showed almost similar trend of result. Addition of MO accumulated protein from ruminal fermentation by increasing soluble protein that made protein concentration very high in the soluble state and at the same time accumulation of protein in the pellets was found higher compared to M. Ammonium concentration was increased with the addition of MO as of M although the concentration was decreased with the addition of SC and SC+MO since tannins protected protein from microbial degradation. When protein rich MO was incubated with SC tannin, the protein accumulation in the pellet was found highest. Therefore, it can be predicted from the present findings that MO and SC may use as natural source of feed additives to alter rumen fermentation characteristics especially it increased the availability of soluble and protected protein and with the combined incubation of MO+SC may increase the availability of both soluble and protected protein in the rumen may ensure ruminant productivity. Further in vivo study is needed to ensure the benefits of MO and SC as an additive in the ruminant diets as of growth promoter M.

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Fodder

Objectives:

1. To investigate rumen fermentation pattern particularly protein degradation in the rumen using protein rich Moringa oleifera (MO) and/or tannin rich Syzygium cumini (SC) leaves.

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted to investigate rumen fermentation pattern particularly protein degradation in the rumen using protein rich Moringa oleifera (MO) and/or tannin rich Syzygium cumini (SC) leaves. The growth promoting antibiotics (GPA), Monensin (M) was used as external control to compare with the degradation of MO, SC and MO+SC.

Achievement/Findings:

The findings stated that MO and SC may use as natural source of feed additives to alter rumen fermentation characteristics especially it increased the availability of soluble and protected protein and with the combined incubation of MO+SC may increase the availability of both soluble and protected protein in the rumen may ensure ruminant productivity. Further in vivo study is needed to ensure the benefits of MO and SC as an additive in the ruminant diets as of growth promoter
