“…Gas production is an indirect measurement of substrate degradation and is a good predictor for the production of VFA, but it is not always positively related to microbial mass production. In case of IVDMD (%), IVOMD (%) the findings are well collaborated with results of Kumar et al (2016) and Ankita (2016) who reported an improvement in the in vitro DM and OM digestibility. This might be due to increase in level of fermentable sugars or carbohydrates (Kumar 2015).…”

“…Addition of MMS I and MMS II at 2%, 3% and 4% of ration significantly (P<0.01) improved the IVDMD and IVOMD (%), which were highest at 3% levels as compared to control (Tables 2 and 3). In case of total gas production result are well collaborated with finding of Inamdar et al (2015), Sachan et al (2014) but was contradictory with findings of Kumar et al (2016). The similar total gas production in all treatment groups thus indicated similar rate of fermentation in all three diets.…”

Molasses based multinutrients herbal supplements (MMS) containing ground fenugreek seed and de-oiled mahua seed cake at two different ratios (1:1; MMS I or 1:3; MMS II) was evaluated under in vitro as well as in vivo conditions. For in vitro evaluation, concentrate mixture and wheat straw in 50: 50 ratio (on DM basis) was taken as substrate for the experiment. MMS I and MMS II were added at 2, 3 and 4% of the substrate, respectively. The total gas production (ml/g DM), partitioning factor (PF) and microbial biomass production (MBP) were found comparable in all the groups but significantly improved the IVDMD and IVOMD in supplemented groups. Under in vivo feeding trial, serum enzymes and minerals profile in buffalo calves were assessed during 9 months of experimental period. Fifteen male Murrah buffalo calves (10 to 15 months of age and mean body wt. 234.0±12.5 kg) were randomly distributed into 3 groups (5 in each group) according to randomized block design. All animals were fed with conventional concentrate mixture, available chopped green fodder (3-4 kg DM/d) and wheat straw ad lib to meet out nutrients requirement. While control group (C) were not fed supplements but groups T1 and T2 supplemented with MMS I and MMS II, respectively at 44 g/100 kg body weight or 200 g/100 kg metabolic body weight (kgW0.75). Serum AST, ALT activities and serum concentration of Ca, P, Fe, Mn, Cu and Co were comparable among 3 groups but serum concentration of Zn was significantly higher among supplemented groups. Thus, results show that supplementation of MMS improved IVDMD, IVOMD and serum Zn level resulting in to better health conditions of buffalo calves.

“…Supplementation of T. chebula at 10 g per kg diet DM in sheep improved nutrient digestibility and fiber degradability possibly through increasing numbers of fibrolytic bacteria (21,22). Inclusion of Phyllanthus emblica has shown to increase in vitro dry and organic matter degradability and the synthesis of microbial biomass, while reducing methane production (23). A combination of ajwain, fenugreek, and fennel seeds and fruits of Terminalia chebula and Phyllanthus emblica, reduced in vitro methane production without affecting other fermentation parameters (24).…”

A Mixed Phytogenic Modulates the Rumen Bacteria Composition and Milk Fatty Acid Profile of Water Buffaloes

et al. 2020

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of a mixed phytogenic (MP) on rumen bacteria and their potential association with rumen fermentation and milk yield parameters in water buffaloes. Twenty Murrah buffaloes were fed a basal diet (consisting of maize silage, brewers' grains, and concentrate mixture) for 6 weeks supplemented with 0 (control), 15 (MP15), 25 (MP25), and 35 (MP35) g of mixed phytogenic/buffalo per d. The mixed phytogenic contained fennel (seeds), ajwain (seeds), ginger (tubers), Swertia chirata (leaves), Citrullus colocynthis (fruit), turmeric, fenugreek (seeds), Terminalia chebula (fruit), licorice (roots), and Phyllanthus emblica (fruit) in equal quantities. After 2 weeks of adaptation, daily milk yield, and weekly milk composition were recorded. On the last day of the experiment (d 42), rumen contents were collected to determine rumen fermentation parameters and bacterial diversity through 16S rRNA sequencing. Results revealed no change in dry matter intake, milk yield and rumen fermentation parameters except pH, which increased (P = 0.029) in response to MP supplementation. The mixed phytogenic increased (P < 0.01) milk fatty acids (C4 to C14:0) in MP15 only. The milk C16:1 content and its unsaturation index were higher (P < 0.05) in MP35 as compared to the control and other treatments. Furthermore, C18:3n3 was higher (P < 0.05) in the control, MP15, and MP25, as compared to MP35. Supplementation of MP tended to increase (P = 0.095) the Shannon index of bacterial alpha diversity and a difference (P < 0.05) among treatment groups was observed in beta diversity. Feeding MP increased the Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Spirochaetes but decreased Bacteroidetes numerically. In addition, the dominant genus Prevotella decreased in all treatment groups while Pseudobutyrivibrio, Butyrivibrio, and Succinivibrioanceae increased numerically in MP25 and MP35. The mixed phytogenic promoted groups of rumen bacteria positively associated with milk and fat yield. Overall, our study revealed 14 positive correlations of rumen bacteria with milk yield and eight with rumen fermentation parameters. Our findings reveal substantial changes in the rumen bacteriome composition and milk fatty acid content in response to MP but these results should be interpreted carefully, as the sample size of our study was relatively small.
