Abstract

This study was investigated to evaluate the effects of different preparations of Impatiens balsamina on rumen microbial methane (CH4) production and fermentation characteristics such as pH, ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and microbial crude protein (MCP) in vitro. Rumen fluid was collected from cows fitted with permanent rumen fistulas, and the substrates consisted of straw, corn and soybean as artificial feeds in each fermentation vessel. The medium was supplemented with water, ethanol extract and original plant solid powder at three levels (0.5%, 1.0% and 2.5%), respectively. The results showed that total gas production in the original plant powder preparation was the highest, and 56.8% higher on average than that in the control (CK), and total gas production in ethanol and water extract preparations was respectively 24.7% and 14.1% higher on average than that in CK. Impatiens balsamina preparations obviously increased CO2, but reduced CH4 and pH. The trend was more and more obvious with the added amount increasing. The dosage of 2.5% original plant solid powder (S3) completely inhibited CH4 production. Compared with CK, Impatiens balsamina preparations improved rumen MCP and reduced NH3-N with the most obvious effect in original plant powder preparation and the worst in water extract preparation. The MCP in original plant solid powder preparation was significantly 84.9%, 139.7% and 199.7% higher than that in CK (P<0.05), but NH3-N in original plant solid powder preparation was depressed by 41.1%, 52.2% and 55.4% compared with CK (P<0.05), respectively. In conclusion, Impatiens balsamina can reduce CH4, increase CO2, promote the conversion of NH3-N to MCP in rumen microbial fermentation in vitro, and the most effective preparation is original plant powder.
