Inclusion of oils in the in vitro fermentation of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum. cv. Cameroon)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of incorporating vegetable oils into the in vitro fermentation of a tropical grass on the kinetics and digestibility of the fibrous fraction by rumen microorganisms. Treatments consisted of different inclusion levels (0, 2, 4, and 6% dry matter) of lipid sources, namely soybean oil, canola oil, and baru oil, mixed with tropical forage (Pennisetum purpureum Schum cv.
