Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of apidaecin on rumen fermentation parameters and methane emissions by in vitro fermentation. Four healthy similar weight[(40±3) kg] alpine Merino sheep were selected as rumen liquid donors. A single factor design was used in the experiment. Three treatments were added with apidaecin at 0, 0.75 and 1.50 mg per kg of dry matter, respectively. Each treatment was repeated seven times. Fermentation was terminated in ice water for 24 h. Gas production and fermentation broth were collected. The pH of rumen fermentation broth was measured, and the effects of apidaecin on gas production, volatile fatty acid contents and some microorganisms number in fermentation broth were also measured. The results showed that fermented in vitro for 24 h, compared with no apidaecin addition, adding 0.75 mg apidaecin could significantly increase the percentage of acetic acid and acetic-to-propionic acid ratio in rumen (P<0.05), significantly reduce the percentage of propionic acid (P<0.05), and significantly increase methane production (P<0.05). Meanwhile, there was a tendency to increase rumen pH (P=0.080) and the number of Prevotella (P=0.078). In summary, under the condition of 24 h fermentation in vitro, apidaecin has a certain effect on the rumen fermentation of sheep, which can regulate the rumen fermentation mode of sheep.
