dc.description.abstractThe current study was aimed to determine the effect of rambutan peel powder (RPP) supplementation on in vitro gas production, rumen fermentation characteristics and methane production. The experimental design was a completely randomized design and the dietary treatments were different levels of RPP supplementation at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mg/0.5 g DM. Under this investigation, RPP supplementation did not affect gas production kinetics and in vitro digestibility (p > .05). The concentration of NH3-N decreased linearly with the increasing levels of RPP supplementation (p < .05). Propionate was increased (p < .05) when supplemented with RPP at 16 mg, while acetate and butyrate remained the same. On the other hand, supplementation of RPP decreased methane production (p < .05). This study indicated that RPP at 16 mg could be used as a rumen enhancer for manipulating rumen fermentation.
