Fibrolytic activity of rumen anaerobic fungi on sodium hydroxide treated paddy straw

The aim of this study was to evaluate fibrolytic activity of rumen fungi by using disappearance of dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and chitin content in rumen anaerobic fungi pure culture containing rice straw treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for 12 days in in vitro condition. Treatments were: untreated rice straw and treated with NaOH (45, 70 and 120 g/kg DM). Sodium hydroxide treatment increased chitin content and disappearance of DM and NDF from paddy straw in a dose dependent manner (P<0.05). It appears that the growth and activity of rumen fungi on paddy straw are favourably influenced by NaOH treatment.
