Bioefficiency of microencapsulated hemp leaf phytonutrient-based extracts to enhance in vitro rumen fermentation and mitigate methane production.

ABSTRACT: The objective was to assess the supplementation with microencapsulation of hemp leaf extract (mHLE) utilized as a rumen enhancer on in vitro rumen fermentation and to enhance the bioavailability of active compounds for antimicrobial action, particularly in protozoa and methanogen populations. The feed treatments were totally randomized in the experimental design, with different levels of mHLE diet supplemented at 0, 4, 6 and 8% of total DM substrate and added to an R:C ratio of 60:40. During fermentation, gas kinetics production, nutrient degradability, ammonia nitrogen concentration, volatile fatty acid (VFA) profiles, methane production, and the microbial population were measured. The supplemented treatment at 6% of total DM substrate affected reductions in gas kinetics, cumulative gas p
