The effect of tannase-producing supplementation with probiotic potential on ruminal fermentation of diets containing pomegranate peel in vitro

Due to the harmful effects of tannin on diet digestibility, the present study investigated theeffect of tannase-producing supplementations (TPS) with probiotic potential on ruminalfermentation of diets containing pomegranate peel (PP) in vitro. The treatments consisted of a)basal diet (BD), b) BD+ ۱ ml of TPS, c) BD+ ۲ ml of TPS, and d) BD + ۱۶% of PP, e) BD+ ۱ml of TPS+۱۶% of PP and f) BD+ ۲ ml of TPS+۱۶% of PP. Gas production (GP) techniquewas used to study the effects of TPS on diets containing PP. TPS was freshly prepared andinjected into the vials. According to the findings, TPS significantly increased the gas production potential of diets containing PP and simultaneously reduced the lag phase (P<۰.۰۵), confirmingthe effectiveness of the tannase feed additive.
