Influence of forage-to-concentrate ratio on the effects of a radiata pine bark extract on methane production and fermentation using the rumen simulation technique by N. Vera, S. Suescun-Ospina, C. Gutiérrez-Gómez, P. Williams, C. Fuentealba, R. Allende, J. Ávila-Stagno

“…This study investigated the effects of radiata pine bark extract (PBE) supplementation on CH4 production, ruminal fermentation parameters, and nutrient disappearance using the rumen simulation technique in diets with different forage-to-concentrate (F:C) ratios. The experimental design was a 22 factorial arrangement of two F:C ratios [70:30 (HF) vs 30:70 (HC)], without or with PBE (2% on a DM basis). …”
