Abstract
The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of two levels of oak (Quercus persica) acorn (OA) with or without polyethylene glycol (PEG) on ruminal fermentation parameters and protozoa population of native goats during the last 60 d of pregnancy. Forty multiparous pregnant goats (41.8±3.5 kg BW) were used in a completely randomized block design with the 2×2 factorial arrangement. Oak acorn was used in two levels of 20 or 40% of diet dry matter with (20 gram/head/day) or without PEG. In addition, a control (C) diet without OA and PEG was used. The results showed that goats fed the C diet had higher ruminal NH3-N (P<0.01), total volatile fatty acids (VFA, P<0.05) and propionate (P<0.01) concentrations. Total protozoa count decreased linearly with increasing the level of OA in the diet (P<0.05). Addition of PEG to the diet increased ruminal NH3-N (P<0.05), total VFA (P<0.01) and propionate (P<0.01) concentrations. Diet containing 40% compare to 20% OA decreased asymptotic gas production (P<0.01) and half time of gas production (P<0.05). It is concluded that feeding OA especially high level has negative effects on rumen fermentation parameters and addition of PEG to diet reduced some of these negative effects of tannins.
