Abstract :In this study, control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0);, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1000 mg L-1 ginger essential oil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GEO); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Zingiber officinale Roscoe); was added to rumen liquid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RL);. Then, the effects of the GEO added to the RL In vitro gas production, organic matter digestibility insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OMD);, metabolisable energy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ME);, rumen fermentation parameters and methane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CH4); production were examined on these samples. It was determined that the addition of the GEO to RL decreased the in vitro gas production of Trifolium pratense hay insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TPH);, the OMD and ME contents, total volatile fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TVFA);, acetic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AA);, propionic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PA);, butyric acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BA); and other volatile fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OVFA); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05);. Moreover, it was determined that while the productions of carbon dioxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CO2);, CH4 and ammonia nitrogen insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NH3-N); decreased, the ratios of the rumen pH and AA/PA increased insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05); depending on the increase in the dose of GEO. In conclusion, it was determined that the GEO dose which had the highest negative effect on the in vitro gas production, the rumen fermentation, the nutrient digestibility, the CH4 and the CO2 production was 1000 mg L-1. It was concluded that since high doses of GEO affect rumen fermentation and digestion of feeds negatively, it would be appropriate to use 200 mg L-1.
