Abstract
Nanotechnology brings new solution for improving ruminal fermentation. Meta-analysis study of the effect of nanoparticles on ruminal fermentation can help to better understand how to manipulate ruminal fermentation. After searching and selecting appropriate articles, data related to ruminal fermentation parameters were extracted. Meta-analyses were carried out using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis package, version 3. The effect sizes of across studies were calculated with fixed and random effect models. Possible publication bias was evaluated with funnel plot and statistical tests. The results of meta-analysis showed that the administration of nanoparticles in the diet, has a positive effect on gas production, total VFAs concentration and apparent dry matter digestibility. Addition of nanoparticles in the diet decrease N-NH3 concentration. The values of I2 for GP and TVFAs indicated moderate and values of I2 for N-NH3 concentration and apparent dry matter digestibility effect size indicated high heterogeneity, respectively. Administration of nanoparticles can improve ruminal fermentation process due to its positive effects on microbial growth, fiber degradation, DM digestibility, TVFAs concentration, and reduce the ratio of acetate to propionate and methane production.
