Potential use of insect protein and phytonutrient-based tropical plant supplementation on rumen fermentation characteristics and microbial protein synthesis in Thai native beef cattle
Our results suggested that CMLP supplementation, particularly at 150 g/h/d, enhanced nutrient digestibility, increased the propionic acid proportion, and promoted microbial protein synthesis while reducing protozoal populations and methane production. CMLP showed promise as an effective dietary protein supplement that improved rumen fermentation and performance of Thai native beef cattle.
