| description | This study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementation with a mixture of molasses and condensed molasses fermentation solubles (M-CMS) in different synchronization diets formulated with different forage sources in an attempt to improve the fermentation efficiency of diets by M-CMS. In the first experiment, three levels of M-CMS (N: 0%; L: 1.75%; and H: 3.50%) were supplied to diets with or without corn silage to evaluate the supplementation effect on the diet with a synchrony index (SI) of 0.80. In the second experiment, diets containing different corn silage levels (60 or 30% of the forage source) were used to evaluate the effects of M-CMS supplementation on higher SI (at 0.88). The in vitro digestibility, fermentation products, microbial crude protein (MCP), and gas kinetic parameters were determined after 48 h of fermentation. The results demonstrated that M-CMS supplementation improved MCP synthesis in both diets with low and high SI, but did not enhance digestibility. M-CMS supplementation was beneficial to the fermentation stability and extent. It also affected the gas kinetic parameters of the fast- and slow-degradation fractions during fermentation. M-CMS supplementation improved MCP synthesis in diets containing less corn silage. The forage source and degradation rate of individual ingredients should be considered simultaneously to enhance the rumen fermentation efficiency. M-CMS provided a practical choice to further improve MCP synthesis and fermentation stability, even in a diet with high SI. |
