| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted in the Faculty of Agriculture / University of Baghdad animal field in Abu Ghraib for the Period from 1-30 / 1/2014 in order to study the effect of feeding 3 and 5% roots of ginger crushed (CRGC) and added to feed on feed intake, digestion coefficient and some ruminal parameters .The results showed a high increase (P<0.01) in the amount of intake of coarse feed and the concentrates when using the ratios 3 and 5% of Jdhuralzenajabil and a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the digestion coefficient of crude protein with the 5% RGC. However, highly significant (P<0.01) decrease in the digestion of crude fiber was observed with both 3 and 5% RGC. There was also a significant decrease (P<0.05) in the amount of ammonia nitrogen in the rumen fluid after 3 and 6 hours post feeding 5% RGC. The number of microorganisms was significant (P<0.05) increase at 3 hrs post feeding and decrease of 6 hrs post feeding. | ||
