Effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus supplementation for improving in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics of cereal straws

We explored and compared the effects of four doses (0, 0.25 × 107, 0.50 × 107, and 0.75 × 107 cfu/mL) of Lactobacillus acidophilus supplementation on ruminal fermentation characteristics of maize stover and rice straw. The maximum gas production (Vf) for maize stover and the rate of gas production d...
