The Effect of Tannin Extracted from Sorghum Seed to Rumen Fermentation Characteristics and Methane Production

Abstract

The suppression of methane gas production is often directly related to the decrease in dry matter consumption or digestibility. This phenomenon is closely related to the process of formation of methane as a result of degradation of fibers that generate H2 in the rumen, thereby utilized by methanogenic bacteria to be converted into CH4. Efforts made in the suppression of methane gas should not be followed by a decrease but an increase or maintain the quality of digestibility of feed ingredients. The current study was aimed to study the effect of supplementation sorghum grain and tannin extracted from sorghum grain on dry matter digestibility, total gas and methane production in the cattle diet evaluated using in vitro technique. In vitro experiment with 3 diet treatments and 4 replications were applied on this study. The treatments were P0 (Napier grass), P1 (Napier grass + 0.15% sorghum seed flour), P2 (Napier grass + 0.15% tannin extracted from sorghum seed flour).  Observed parameters were dry matter digestibility, N-NH3 concentration, VFA total, gas production and methane production. Supplementation of sorghum grain and tannin extracted from sorghum can decrease the cumulative of methane emission by 24.86% and enhanced the quality of dry matter digestibility.
