Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of monensin and salinomycin on in vitro fermentation of starch. Ruminal fluid was collected from three male Ghezel lambs fed with chopped alfalfa hay ad libitum. The rumen fluid was then used to prepared a culture medium containing starch cellulose soy protein urea and different levels of monensin and salinomycin 0 0.1 1 10mg 100ml culture. Incubation n4 were performed in batch cultures at 39 degree celcius for six periods 0 2 4 8 12 and 24h. Addition of salinomycin rather than monensin 0.1 1 mg 100ml each increased the pH and decreased the ammonia-N lactic acid protozoa counts p less than 0.05. Fluid pH increased p less than 0.05 after 2-8h incubation with increasing salinomycin levels compared to monensin 6.54 vs. 6.21. The highest bacterial dry matter and bacterial dry matter and bacterial crude protein synthesis BCPs and ammonia-N was found in samples treated with monensin at 1mg 100ml p less than 0.05. This therefore indicated that salinomycin could be use as an effective ionophore for prevention of ruminal acidosis.
