Abstract

The current experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of cysteamine (Cs) on ruminal fermentation parameters and methane production of water buffalo by in vitro gas production method. A reading pressure in vitro gas production system was used. The ratio of concentrate to forage of substrate was 32.5:67.5. Cs was supplemented in concentrate at levels of 0, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% (dry matter basis), respectively. The results showed as follows: 1) Cs had no significant effect on 72 hours accumulation of gas production (P>0.05); digestible organic matter content and metabolizable energy were the highest in 0.8% Cs group, and significantly higher than those in 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% Cs groups (P<0.05). 2) Cs had no significant effect on ammonia nitrogen concentration (P>0.05), but microbial protein concentration in 0.8% Cs group was significantly higher than that in other groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 3) Acetic acid concentration in 0.8% Cs group was the highest, but had no significant difference with that of other groups (P>0.05); compared with the control group, acetic acid/propionic acid was significantly increased in 0.6% Cs group (P<0.05). 4) Cs was supplemented in concentrate at a higher level than 0.4% could significantly decrease methane production after 6, 12 and 24 hours fermentation (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of in vitro gas production method indicate that Cs can promote rumen microbe fermentation, but decrease methane production of water buffalo when supplemental level of Cs is 0.8%.
