Abstract

Six Korean native Hanwoo steers fitted with ruminal cannula were used to investigate the effect of a feeding sequence on stability of rumen fermentation. Treatments in triplicate 2 2 Latin square were a feeding straw 1.0kg/d on air dry matter followed by commercial concentrate 7.0kg/d RC and a feeding concentrate followed by rice straw CR. Rumen digesta taken from the anterior sac the ventral sac and the ventral blind sac of the rumen was filtered with cheesecloth abd immediately measured for pH. Part of rumen digesta filtered was analysed for ammonia N and volatile fatty acid VFA. Less diurnal variation in ruminal pH ammonia N and total VFA concentration appeared in RC than CR indicating that a feeding roughage followed by concentrate may lead to relatively better stability of rumen fermentation compared with a feeding concentrate-and-roughage.
