Abstract

This experiment was conducted to research the effects of monensin and tween-80 on the characteristics of rumen fermentation and methane (CH4) emission of growing Grassland Red bulls. Eight healthy Grassland Red bulls with an average age of seventeen months and an average body weight of (276±18) kg was selected and randomly divided into four groups with two heads in each group in a 4×4 Latin square design. Bulls were fed a basal diet and three experimental diets (the basal diet supplemented with 0.36 g/d monensin, 1.75 g/d tween-80 and 0.36 g/d monensin+1.75 g/d tween-80, respectively). The results showed as follows: dietary supplementation of monensin significantly increased the concentration of total volatile fatty acid (TVFA) and the proportion of propionate propionic acid, but reduced CH4 emission per kilogram of weight gain by 31.89%; dietary supplementation of tween-80 tended to increase TVFA concentration and propionate proportion (P>0.05), but reduced CH4 emission per kilogram of weight gain by 22.59%; compared with supplemented individually, the influence was not enhanced when monensin and tween-80 were supplemented toghter. Therefore, monensin and tween-80 can both improve rumen fermentation, but significantly reduce CH4 emission per unit of weight gain, which are beneficial for nutrient digestion and utilization.
