- Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of using complete ration pith as a substitute for forage on VFA production in vitro. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design with four treatments and four replications. The treatments were P0 = 75% forage + 25% concentrate, P1 = (25% palm pith + 75% forage) + 25% concentrate, P2 = (50% palm kernel + 50% forage) + 25% concentrate and P3 = (75% palm pith + 25% forage) + 25% concentrate. Parameters measured were the molar proportions of acetate, propionate, butyrate and total volatile fatty acids. The results showed that the treatment was significantly different (P < 0.05) in the molar proportion of acetate. In treatment P1 the molar proportion of acetate was significantly lower (P < 0.05) compared to treatment P0, P2 and P3 and there is no significant difference between P0, P2 and P3. The molar proportions of propionate, butyrate and total volatile fatty acids were not significantly different between treatments. It can be concluded that there was a decrease in the proportion of molar acetate and an increase in propionate at 20% palm pith content.
