Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of Yucca plant powder on rumen fermentation characteristics in vitro. In this study, rumen fluids were collected from lactating Holstein cows with fistula, and a lactating diet was used as the fermentation substrates. Five groups were classified based on different levels of Yucca plant powder as follows: 0 (control), 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 g/kg (dry matter basis), and each treatment was performed in 6 replicates. The AGRS-Ⅲ microbial fermentation microgas production auto-recorder was used to perform in vitro fermentation at 39 ℃ for 48 h. Results showed as follows: 1) the contents of total volatile fatty acids, acetic, propionic and butyrate of the fermentation broth increased linearly with the increased doses of Yucca plant powder (P<0.05). 2) The addition of 5.0 g/kg Yucca plant powder had a certain inhibitory effect on the ammonia nitrogen content compared with the control group (P=0.10). 3) The addition of Yucca plant powder had no significant effect on the dry matter degradation rate (P=0.18). 4) Adding 5.0 g/kg Yucca plant powder for 48 h had the lowest gas production in vitro, but there was no significant difference compared with control group (P=0.13). Besides, adding 2.5 g/kg Yucca plant powder had the lowest methane production in vitro for 48 h, but did not reach a significant difference compared with the control group (P=0.53). Data suggest that adding Yucca plant powder at a level at 5.0 g/kg in diet can reduce methane emissions and the content of ammonia nitrogen in vitro fermentation, and has an inhibiting effect on rumen degradation of diets.
