...eef cattle followed, and goats produced the least (p=0.004, p<0.001, p=0.001). The swamp buffalo and the 70:30 ratio exhibited the highest concentration of ammonia nitrogen (p<0.001, p=0.002). The ratio of concentrate to roughage influences the overall production of VFAs, the proportion of C2, C3, the C2:C3 ratio, and methane emissions (P<0.05). The 70:30 ratio demonstrated superior performance compared to the 100:0 ratio. Additionally, the interactio...
