RESUMEN: Evaluar el efecto de la edad del pasto kikuyo (Pennisetum clandestinum) y de la relación forraje/suplemento (F/S) sobre la producción de metano (CH4), la digestibilidad de la materia seca (DMS) y el perfil de fermentación mediante la técnica in vitro de producción de gas. Materiales y métodos. Seis tratamientos, resultantes de la combinación de los factores edad del pasto (30 y 60 días) y relación F/S (100/0, 75/25 y 50/50), fueron evaluados bajo un diseño factorial 2x3. Las variables respuesta se midieron a las 6, 12, 24 y 48 horas de incubación. Para el análisis de los datos se empleó un diseño de medidas repetidas en el tiempo y las diferencias entre medias se determinaron con el procedimiento LSMEANS de SAS. Resultados. El pasto de menor edad (30 días) fue más digestible, produjo menos CH4 por gramo de materia seca digestible (MSd) y más ácidos grasos volátiles totales (AGV) que el pasto de mayor edad (60 días, p0.05). Conclusiones. Bajo condiciones in vitro, con pH próximo a la neutralidad, la mayor edad del pasto reduce la DMS y aumenta la producción de CH4 por gramo de MSd, mientras que la reducción en la relación F/S aumenta la DMS y la producción de CH4 por gramo de MSd, último hallazgo que contrasta con los reportes in vivo.Palabras clave: Carbohidratos, digestibilidad in vitro, estado de madurez, producción de metano (Fuentes: CAB, USDA).
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the effect of Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) harvested at two different ages and three forage: concentrate supplement ratios (F/C) on methane (CH4) production, dry matter digestibility (DMD), and fermentation profile using the in vitro gas production technique. Materials and methods. six treatments, resulting from the combination of pasture age (30 or 60 days) and F/C (100/0, 75/25, or 50/50) were evaluated using a 2x3 factorial design. The response variables were measured 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after incubation. A repeated-measure over time design was used to analyze the data, and differences between means were determined with the LSMEANS procedure of SAS. Results. the youngest grass (30 days) was more digestible, produced less CH4 per gram of digestible dry matter (dDM) and more total volatile fatty acids (VFA) compared to the oldest grass (60 days; p 0.05). Conclusions. under in vitro conditions and pH close to neutrality, the older grass reduces DMD and increases CH4 production per gram of dDM, while a F/C reduction increases DMD and CH4 production per gram of dDM, which differs with reports conducted in vivo. Key words: Carbohydrates, in vitro digestibility, grass maturity, methane production (Sources: CAB, USDA).
