Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of coating whole
cottonseed (WCS) with varying quantities of starch on
in vitro ruminal
fermentation. In vitro
fermentation experiments were conducted over two days, with three
replicates per day (n = 6). Each trial consisted of three treatments
(control, 1% starch, and 5% starch). The control was an uncoated WCS,
the 1% starch treatment consisted of WCS coated with 1% starch, and the
5% starch treatment was WCS coated with 5% starch. For the 5% starch
treatment, the pH of the rumen fluid was lowest, total gas production
was highest during the initial stage, NH3-N content was 25%
lower than that of the control (P<0.05%), the acetate ratio at 48 h was
reduced by 7.0%, and the propionate ratio increased 7.5% compared to
that of the control (P<0.05). For the 1% starch treatment, the pH was
not different from that of the other treatments except at 3 h after the
start of incubation, and total gas production and NH3-N
content were not different from those of the control. Consequently,
coating WCS with 5% starch altered the
in vitro ruminal fermentation
parameters; however, 1% starch treatment did not alter ruminal pH, total
gas production, NH3-N, or VFA composition, relative to the
control.
