This study was carried out to investigate the effect of supplementation of three selected tanniniferous tropical tree leaves of Ficus benghalensis, Artocarpus heterophyllus and Azadirachta indica on enteric methane emission, rumen fermentation characteristics and protozoal population in 20 native Indian adult male sheep (Mandya). The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with four treatments of five animals each. The sheep in control group (CON) were fed on complete feed block (CFB) comprising finger millet straw and concentrate in the ratio of 60:40 (DM basis) without any inclusion of tropical tree leaves. Sheep in three test groups i.e. FIC, ART and AZA were also fed complete feed block prepared from finger millet straw and concentrate in the same ratio (60:40) as control, but wheat bran in concentrate mixture of test groups was partially replaced (10 parts w/w) with selected tanniniferous tropical tree leaves of Ficus benghalensis, Artocarpus heterophyllus and Azadirachta indica, respectively. The condensed tannin intake in sheep between 7.15 and 10.8 g/kg dry matter intake via selected tanniniferous tropical tree leaves did not influence dry matter and digestibility. About 20–26% reduction (p Not Available |
