Abstract
In present study thein vitro degradation of sugarcane bagasse and total mixed ration (i.e. sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw, and concentrate mixture in the ratio of 20∶30∶50) were tested using anaerobic rumen fungiNeocallimastix spp. GR1 andPiromyces spp. WNG-12. These cultures produced hydrolytic enzymes (CMCase, FPCase and xylanase)and increased thein vitro digestibility of dry matter, neutral detergent fibre, and acid detergent fibre of bagasse and total mixed rations when compared with control.Neocallimastix spp. GR1 andPiromyces spp. WNG-12 also increased total volatile fatty acids by degradation of sugarcane bagasse and total mixed ration. Based on results obtained, it may be stated thatNeocallimastix spp. GR1 may improve the nutritive value of high fibrous based diets.
