Effect of rare earth elements on in vitro rumen microbial fermentation and feed digestion
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of rare earth elements (REEs) on in vitro rumen fermentation, gas production, microbial protein synthesis and nutrient digestion using in vitro batch culture and continuous culture technique. A mixture of REE containing (g/kg) 380g of LaCI3·6H2O, 521g of CeCI3·6H2O, 30g of PrCI3·6H2O and 69g chlorides of other light REEs. The experimental diet consisted of 885g/kg barley grain, 84g/kg …
