ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the replacement of oat
hay exclusively with fermented prickly pear in developed multi-nutritional
blocks (MNBs) on steer production efficiency and in vitro rumen fermentation
parameters. Two experiments were performed: Trial 1 (in vitro assay) evaluated
in vitro fermentation parameters of three MNBs replacing oat hay (MNB0 –
0% prickly pear, MNB1 – 25% prickly pear, MNB2 – 25% fermented prickly
pear). Trial 2 (in vivo assay) evaluated the effect of MNBs on steer production
performance. Both experiments were established as a completely randomized
design. The values for proteins, metabolisable energy, gas production, methane
and CO2were higher in MNB2 (P < 0.05) group. Total and individual volatile fatty
acids differed between experimental MNBs groups (P < 0.05). Mean body weight
and mean live-weight gain of steers were increased with MNB supplementation
in T2 group by 12 and 37%, respectively. Dry matter digestibility was higher
(P < 0.05), but methane and CO2 production in the rumen decreased with MNB
supplementation (P < 0.05). Replacing 25% of oat hay with fermented prickly
pear leaves increases the nutritional quality of MNB2, while improving animal
production variables and reducing rumen methane emissions.

摘要: 本研究旨在评估采用仙人果制备的多重营养饲料块 (MNB) 替代燕麦干草饲养肉牛对其生产效率和体
外瘤胃发酵参数的影响。本研究由两个试验组成：试验1 (T1：体外试验）评估了三种MNB替代燕麦干草
(MNB0：0% MNB、MNB1：25% MNB、MNB2–25% 发酵MNB) 的体外发酵参数。试验2 。 T2 ：体内试验）评估
了上述3种MNB添加对肉牛生产性能的影响。两个实验均为完全随机设计。T1试验中，MNB2组的蛋白质含
量、代谢能、产气量、甲烷和CO2
值均显著升高 (P < 0.05)。各MNBs组之间的总挥发性脂肪酸和单个挥发性
脂肪酸存在差异 (P < 0.05)。T2试验中， T2组的平均体重和平均增重随MNB增加分别增加了12%和37%。添加
MNB后的瘤胃干物质消化率较高 (P < 0.05)，但甲烷和CO2
的产生量降低 (P < 0.05)。用发酵的仙人果叶MNB代替
25%的燕麦干草可提高MNB2组的营养质量，同时改善动物生产变量并减少瘤胃甲烷排放。
