Digestibility, rumen protozoa, and ruminal fermentation in goats receiving dietary palm oil by-products
Sixteen goats fitted with a rumen cannula were used in completely randomized block design to test the effects of dietary crude palm oil (PO), palm kernel cake (PKC) and decanter cake (DC) on rumen total protozoa counts, rumen fermentation, and digestibility. Goats received once daily (1.5% of BW) one of four concentrate diets: reference diet (RD), DC diet (DCD), PKC diet (PKCD) and RD plus 5% PO diet (CPOD). The RD was based on corn grain and soybean meal
and was fed to all goats for 28 days before the start of a 30-day experiment. Organic matter (OM) digestibility was reduced (P < 0.05) by feeding DCD, whereas digestibility of acid detergent fiber (ADF) was higher (P
