The study Zataria Multiflora Water Extract effects On the Short Chain Fatty Acid, Net Energy, Metobolizable Energy and Organic Matter Digestibility Of Sunflower Meal Using In Vitro Gas Production Technique

This experiment was conducted to survey effect of adding different levels (0, 0.15, 0.3 ml/30ml buffered rumen fluid) of Zataria multiflora water extract (ZMWE) on sunflower meal (SM) degradability were studied by in vitro gas producing techniques. Gas production test with mixtures of filtered rumen liquid of three Taleshi native male cattle rumen in times of 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours were performed. Chemical composition for ether extract , ash, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber were 5.97, 5.5, 45.8 and 30.6 percent, respectively. The results showed The organic matter digestibility (OMD), metabolizable energy (ME), short chain fatty acid (SCFA) and net energy for lactation (NE l ) contents of SM were 8.36 MJ/kg DM, 0.937 mmol and 4.533 MJ/kg DM, while for level 0.3 ZMWE were 64.76 g/kg DM, 8.04 MJ/kg DM, 0.895 mmol and 4.664 MJ/kg DM.
