Zataria Multiflora Extract could affect Metobolizable Energy and Organic Matter Digestibility of Canola Meal

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 canola meal (CM) 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 3.4, 7.14, 33 and 22 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 CM were 79.46 g/kg DM, 10.27 MJ/kg DM, 1.046 mmol and 5.28 MJ/kg DM, while for level 0.3 ZMWE were 41.85 g/kg DM, 3.63 MJ/kg DM, 1.047 mmol and 1.22 MJ/kg DM.
