Extract

Feeding dairy cows diet formulation by zeolite has been reported improved the efficiency of milk yield (Roussel, 1992). Lupez et al (1992) reported that efficiency of ion exchange in rumen was improved When animals fed with diets containing zeolite. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of zeolite concentration on rumen pH, liquid smell, bacterial flora, protozoa number, methylene blue reduction time and the sedimentation and flotation period.
