Effects of substituting alfalfa silage with whole plant quinoa silage on rumen fermentation characteristics and rumen microbial community of sheep in vitro

This study investigated the effect of different ratios of quinoa-to-alfalfa silage on the fermentation parameters, methane production, and rumen microbial community composition during in vitro fermentation trials. The objective was to evaluate the potential of quinoa as a viable silage material. Fiv...
