Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of ethyl nitroacetate, ethyl 2-nitropropionate and 3-nitropropionic acid on ruminal production of CH4, H2, volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and on dry matter digestibility of ground alfalfa under in vitro conditions. In vitro incubations were conducted as consecutive batch cultures. Total gas and amounts of methane produced by ruminal microbes were decreased by all nitrocompounds (P < 0.05). Total production of VFAs was significantly reduced for all the nitrocompounds (P < 0.05) except for NPA. DM disappearance was not affected (P >0.05) by treatment.
