| Abstract | ||
| Each of four pasture grasses (Matricaria chamomila, Urtica dioica, Gundelia tournefortii and Taraxacum officinal), were added separately to oat hay (basal diet) at 15:85 ratio and in vitro digestibilityand gas production were determined.Results showed the highest dry matter and organic matter digestibility (694 and 700 g per kg DM) was obtained by Matricaria chamomile. Methane reduction potential (MRP) ranged 13.01 to 24.9%, which was the highest in terms of Matricaria chamomilla treatment (24.9%). Based on these results, it can be concluded that Matricaria chamomillamay be positively affect digestibility and MRP | ||
