Abstract
Tea seed oil (TSO) was investigated for its effects on rumen fermentation and in vitro parameters of bacterial communities in water buffalo diets containing Siraitia grosvenorii and soybean residues. TSO was added at rates of 0% (control group (CT)), 0.5% (T1), 1% (T2), and 2% (T3) of the in vitro fermentation substrate weight (dry matter (DM) basis). T2 and T3 had significantly lower acetate and total volatile fatty acid contents but a significantly higher microbial crude protein content than CT. The lowest NH3-N content was observed in T1 and T2. Treatment significantly increased DM digestibility, with the highest percentage observed in T2. T2 showed significantly higher crude protein digestibility than CT. TSO supplementation significantly increased the C18:2n6c, C18:2 trans-10, cis-12, and C20:4n6 concentrations compared to those in CT. The total number of bacteria was significantly lower in T2 than in CT. TSO supplementation decreased the total bacteria, fungi, and methanogen populations but increased rumen microorganism diversity and richness. In conclusion, TSO can regulate the number and flora of rumen microorganisms through antimicrobial activity, thereby affecting rumen fermentation patterns, reducing methane production, and improving nutrient digestibility, and an optimal supplementation rate appears to be achieved with 1% TSO (DM basis).

Abstract
Because of developing bacterial resistance and increased public awareness of health and food safety problems, the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in the chicken industry has been outlawed. This problem has spurred the poultry industry and sector to explore for safe antibiotic alternatives and to focus on developing better long-term feed management solutions in order to improve chicken health and growth. As a result, phytogenics have developed as natural antibiotic alternatives, with a lot of potential in the poultry industry. Moringa oleifera has gotten a lot of attention from researchers in the recent past as a natural product with a lot of health advantages for poultry. Moringa is known for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hypocholesterolemic properties, as well as its capacity to activate digestive enzymes in the stomach, owing to the presence of hundreds of essential ingredients. The potential influence of M. oleifera as a natural feed supplement on overall gut health, nutritional digestibility, blood biochemical profile, antioxidant benefits, antibacterial potential, and immunological response is emphasized in this review.

Effects of the inclusion of Moringa oleifera seed on rumen fermentation and methane production in a beef cattle diet using the rumen simulation technique (Rusitec). Animal 2018; 13:283-291.

Abstract
Moringa oleifera seeds are currently being used as a livestock feed across tropical regions of the world due to its availability and palatability. However, limited knowledge exists on the effects of the raw seeds on ruminant metabolism. As such, the rumen stimulation technique was used to evaluate the effects of substituting increasing concentrations of ground Moringa seeds (0, 100, 200 and 400 g/kg concentrate dry matter (DM)) in the diet on rumen fermentation and methane production. Two identical, Rusitec apparatuses, each with eight fermenters were used with the first 8 days used for adaptation and days 9 to 16 used for measurements. Fermenters were fed a total mixed ration with Urochloa brizantha as the forage. Disappearance of DM, CP, NDF and ADF linearly decreased (P<0.01) with increasing concentrations of Moringa seeds in the diet. Total volatile fatty acid production and the acetate to propionate ratio were also linearly decreased (P<0.01). However, only the 400 g/kg (concentrate DM basis) treatment differed (P<0.01) from the control. Methane production (%), total microbial incorporation of 15N and total production of microbial N linearly decreased (P<0.01) as the inclusion of Moringa seeds increased. Though the inclusion of Moringa seeds in the diet decreased CH4 production, this arose from an unfavourable decrease in diet digestibility and rumen fermentation parameters.

Abstract
To study the effect of Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) on nutrient intake, rumen fermentation and microbial profile of goats, three rumen cannulated adult male goats (Capra hircus) with average body weight of 19±1.0 kg were allotted to three treatments in 3×3 latin square design. The treatments were, control: fed on basal diet (wheat straw and concentrate mixture in 50:50 ratios), MOL10: basal diet supplemented with MOL @ 10% of dry matter intake (DMI) and MOL20: basal diet supplemented with MOL @ 20% of DMI. To make isonitrogenous diet, three concentrate mixtures of 17.0, 15.2 and 13.0% crude protein (CP) for three groups, respectively, were prepared. The dry matter intake, rumen pH, concentration of rumen metabolites like total VFA, molar proportion of VFAs, NH3- N and microbial enzymes were unaffected due to supplementation of MOL. There was no change in the rumen microbial population (Log 10 number) of total bacteria, methanogens, Fibrobacter succinogenes, Ruminococcus albus, Ruminococcus flavifaciens, Butyrovibrio fibrisolvens, rumen fungi and protozoa. The results indicated that feeding of Moringa oleifera leaves did not affect rumen environment hence rumen enzyme and microbial population also remained unchanged.

Abstract
In order to provide recommendations on the most useful forage species to smallholder farmers, eleven grass and eleven legume forages grown in Abomey-Calavi in Republic of Benin were investigated for nutritive value (i.e. chemical composition and energy content) and fermentation characteristics (i.e. gas and volatile fatty acid production, organic matter degradability). The in vitro gas production technique was used, incubating the forages for 120 h under anaerobic condition with buffalo rumen fluid. Compared to legume, tropical grass forages showed lower energy (8.07 vs 10.57 MJ/kg dry matter [DM]) and crude protein level (16.10% vs 19.91% DM) and higher cell wall content (neutral detergent fiber: 63.8% vs 40.45% DM), respectively. In grass forages, the chemical composition showed a quite high crude protein content; the in vitro degradability was slightly lower than the range of tropical pasture. The woody legumes were richer in protein and energy and lower in structural carbohydrates than herbaceous plants, however, their in vitro results are influenced by the presence of complex compounds (i.e. tannins). Significant correlations were found between chemical composition and in vitro fermentation characteristics. The in vitro gas production method appears to be a suitable technique for the evaluation of the nutritive value of forages in developing countries.
