Abstract
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding groundnut straw
(Arachis hypogaea) based total mixed ration (TMR) on nutrients intake, digestibility
of nutrients, rumen parameters, rumen microbial protein synthesis and enteric
methane (CH4) emission in buffalo.
In order to optimize the level of inclusion of groundnut straw for maximum
DM and OM digestibility and minimum CH4 production, the groundnut straw was
incorporated from 10 to 60% in the TMRs replacing wheat straw. After optimizing the
level of inclusion of groundnut straw, the TMRs were formulated with optimum level
of groundnut straw, based on maximum in vitro DM and OM digestibility and
minimum in vitro methane production
