Effects of dietary oil supplementation on the rumen ciliate protozoa and fiber degrading bacteria in goats

Oil supplementation in the ruminant diet has been proven to reduce the rumen protozoa population and maintain their low amount during supplementation. Majority of oil that contains medium chain fatty acids are also known to reduce cellulolytic bacteria. This experiment was conducted to study the eff...

Sixteen male goats equipped with rumen cannula were assigned to four experimental dietary treatments. The first group acted as the control group (CON) and received the basal diet. The second group (OL) received the basal diet with the supplementation of olive oil, whereas the third group (SO) and fourth group (PL) received the basal diet supplemented with sunflower and palm olein oils, respectively.
