Effects of Momordica charantia polysaccharide on in vitro ruminal fermentation and cellulolytic bacteria

Four levels of Momordica charantia polysaccharide (MCP) supplements (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.6 mg/ml) were designed to investigate the effects of MCP on ruminal fermentation and cellulolytic bacteria in vitro.
