Abstract
in vitro batch cultures were performed to determine the effect of Enterococcus faecium at inclusion levels of 0 (Control), 133, 2.67, 4, 533 and 6.67 x 10(6) CFU/mL in culture fluids consisted of 25 mL filtrated rumen fluid and 50 mL buffer solution on rumen degradability, kinetics of gas production, and fermentation characteristics of 3 typical total mixed rations in northern China with different forage and/or concentrate ingredients (MF, a ration with a mixed forage combination of corn silage and alfalfa hay; CSA, a ration with a single forage of corn stalks and same concentrate in MF; CSB, a ration with same forage in CSA but concentrate ingredients different from MF and CSB). After 72 h incubation, in vitro dry matter disappearance and cumulative gas production were greater in MF than CSA and CSB (P
