Extract

Ionophores, consisting of monensin and lasalocid were reported to improve rumen fermentation and metabolism of ruminants when delivered in their respective proper dosage (Mass et al., 2001). However, the efficacy of ionophores in the manipulation of rumen fermentation has been shown to vary with diet. Ionophores may also inhibit ruminal amino acid deamination (Yang et al., 2003). The objective of this study was to determine of the effect of monensin and lasalocid on rumen fermentation characteristics.
