Beef cattle rumen fluid samples

In this study, we utilised palm kernel cake as a substrate and fermented it with a composite of bacteria (Pentoseae xylophilus CGMCC No. 27203 and Lactobacillus plantarum CGMCC No.27202) and enzymes. We conducted a trial with eight cattle, randomly divided into two groups of four cattle each. The control group (CON) was fed the standard farm diet, whereas the treatment group (PKC) received a diet with 3% of soyabean replaced by fermented palm kernel cake. The trial lasted for six weeks.
