note = {Several studies in vitro and in vivo have pointed out the effectiveness of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) in suppressing ruminal methane production. Yet no study has elucidated the effect of MCFA type and concentration as well as its forms (single and combined) in different diets on methane production. The objective of this study was to determine the type, concentration and proper form of MCFA application, with regard to the negative impact on the process of fermentation in the rumen.
A systematic and comprehensive in vitro (Hohenheim gas test, HGT) experiment was designed and conducted to determine how different types of MCFA at different level of concentrations, in different formats and mixed in different diet, affect rumen methane formation. To complement the results produced by previous studies, C8, C10, C12 and C14 were included in the experiment. Each MCFA was mixed into 3 different diets, with the forage (F): concentrate ratios of 25:75 (25F); 50:50 (50F) and 75:25 (75F), to obtain MCFA concentrations of 1, 3, and 5% (w/w) in each diet. At 5% concentration, the effect of single and combined forms of MCFA on methane formation was also compared and assessed. Total gas production, feed digestibility, ammonium production, short-chain fatty acids production and protozoa numbers were also observed to analyze side effects of MCFA supplementation on ruminal nutrient turnover.
The first part of the study was conducted to assess the effects of different chain (carbon) lengths of MCFA as well as differences in the concentration level of each MCFA within different diets on ruminal methane production and other variables. Methane formation suppression was observed (P≤0.05) at treatments which included the combination between C10 and C12 in diet 50F. The MCFA concentration increments significantly decreased methane formation following a linear trend.
The second part of the study focused on determining effects of MCFA forms on ruminal methane production. The effectiveness of single form of MCFA was compared with the combination form of two MCFA, in uniform concentration (5% w/w). Both MCFA forms suppressed methane production to a highest degree in combination with diet 50F, with C12 being the most effective, irrespective the arrangement of MCFA application (single vs. combined). MCFA inclusion into different diets lowered short-chain fatty acids production, and was accompanied by the decrease of acetate:propionate ratio and protozoa cells reduction.},
