Abstract
An in vitro Hohenheim gas production technique was carried out with the control, water sprayed paddy straw (WSPS), enzyme treated paddy straw (ETPS), enzyme supplemented paddy straw (ESPS) and Urea treated paddy straw (UTPS). The experiment was carried out to assess the ruminal total volatile fatty acids (TVFA), VFA fractions and its stoichiometric derivations of enzyme treated and urea treated paddy straw variety ADT 43. It was found that, TVFA, VFA fractions and its stoichiometric derivations did not yield any statistical difference, but numerically there was difference noticed among treatments. The enzyme treatment and urea treatment of paddy straw was comparable, but the measurements of TVFA, VFA fractions and its stoichiometric derivations were numerically higher than the control in both the treatments.
