Modulatory effects of Macaranga tanarius leaves on rumen fermentation and fatty acid biohydrogenation in sheep: an in vitro study

This study investigated the in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics, metabolism, and apparent biohydrogenation of fatty acids in Macaranga tanarius leaves (MTL) as a potential feed for sheep, compared to Napier grass (NG). Rumen fluid from four cannulated Dorper sheep was used to assess the in v...
