Effects of date palms (Phoenix dactylifera linn) and fig fruits (Ficus caricalinn) on rumen fermentation profiles and kinetics of cattle

This study was conducted to determine the effects of date palms (Phoenix dactylifera Linn) and fig fruits (Ficus carica Linn) on rumen fermentation profiles and kinetic of cattle. Grinded date palm fruit (Dabbas variety) and fig fruit (BMT6 variety) were used. The samples were then undergone nine ty...
