Supplementation of a Basal Goat Diet With Incremental Doses of Canola Essential Oil Modulates In Vitro Rumen Fermentation and Microbial Diversity
The inclusion of CEO in a basal goat diet increased gas production, partition factor at 96 hour of incubation and decreased total volatile fatty acids. However, 1.5% CEO level enhanced the abundance of fermentative bacteria such as Firmicutes and Actinobacteria while 1.5% and 2% CEO levels reduced the abundance of methanogenic microbes.
