Published: April 2023

Метою статті виступає визначення інновацій як імперативу конкурентоспроможності транснаціональних корпорацій на глобальних ринках. У статті визначено особливості конкуренції на глобальному ринку в ХХІ ст. Встановлено що стратегіями розвитку ТНК виступають стимулювання, створення та використання інновацій за рахунок інтелектуальної діяльності людини, спрямованої на якісне підвищення ефективності виробничих систем та створення й виведення на ринок продукції з новими, кращими споживчими властивостями, і, як наслідок, отримання конкурентних переваг.
Сучасна глобальна економіка – це інформаційно-мережева економіка, у якій народжуються нові види бізнесу, змінюються структура галузей та відбувається загальна трансформація змісту конкуренції, удосконалюються її правила, виникають нові конкурентні переваги, надаючи компаніям нові можливості щодо завоювання ринку.
За таких умов економічна категорія «конкурентоспроможність», залишаючи за собою основну властивість – здатність суб’єкта конкурентних відносин до забезпечення конкурентних переваг, крок за кроком набуває глобального характеру – перетворюється на глобальну конкурентоспроможність і стає все більш спрямована на інноваційний розвиток з використанням випереджальних інновацій, що суттєво впливає на інтереси суб’єктів ринкових відносин (партнерів, конкурентів, споживачів тощо). Виділено риси, властиві глобальній конкурентоспроможності, які чітко обумовлюють конкурентні переваги країн-лідерів та передових ТНК. Розглянуто інноваційну складову глобальної конкурентоспроможності ТНК.
З метою забезпечення глобальної інноваційної конкурентоспроможності і збереження лідерських позицій ТНК не зволікаючи здійснюють розробку, виробництво і просування випереджальних інновацій - інноваційних продуктів, технологій, сервісів, компетенцій, методів конкурентної боротьби, що користуються підвищеним попитом на світових ринках. Визначено характеристики високотехнологічних ТНК.
Проаналізовано рейтинг найбільш інноваційних ТНК та динаміку обсягів інвестицій у науково-дослідні та дослідно-конструкторські роботи та чистих продажів компаній-інвесторів з ЄС, США, Китаю, Японії, світу в цілому.
У XXI ст. ключова роль у глобальних процесах економічного розвитку належить інноваціям, синхронізованим з досягненнями науково-технічного прогресу, які забезпечують беззаперечний успіх в конкурентній боротьбі як країн, так і окремих ТНК, що постачають на глобальні ринки значну частку високотехнологічної продукції.

Authors: ПОХИЛЕНКО Наталія Михайлівна
Published: April 2023

У статті розглянуто відмінні соціальні та економічні умови міських та сільських територій. Вони створюють передумови зростання напруженості та формування диспропорцій, що послужило підґрунтям адміністративно-територіальної реформи в Україні у 2017-2019 рр. Визначено періодичність еволюції концептуальних основ сільського розвитку в країнах ЄС. Нині ключовими є концепції сталого, ендогенного та інклюзивного розвитку. Набір концепцій трансформувався в нову парадигму сільського розвитку. Основними її принципами виступають участь багатьох акторів, багатосекторальність та  багаторівневість розвитку.
Виокремлено відмінності у трактуванні сутнісних ознак моделей сільського розвитку вітчизняними та іноземними дослідниками, які відображують зміни пріоритетів сільського розвитку та механізмів їх досягнення. Встановлено, що в Україні фактично підтримується перехід від галузевої до багатогалузевої (перерозподільчої) моделі сільського розвитку. Акцентується увага на збільшенні доходів сільських жителів за рахунок диверсифікації підгалузей сільського господарства, при цьому розвитку соціального капіталу, захисту довкілля, розширенню правових та політичних здібностей приділяється недостатня увага.
Доведено необхідність переходу до моделі «Розумні села». Її розглянуто у 6 вимірах, а саме: прозоре, швидке, децентралізоване управління; відповідність ІТ-інфраструктури можливостям населення; розвиток природнього, людського та економічного потенціалів; необхідності розбудови жорсткої та м’якої інфраструктури; забезпечення комфортності умов життєдіяльності та легкості доступу до послуг; iдентифікація та маркетинг бренду села. Визначено першочерговість таких сфер сільського розвитку у після воєнній період відбудови України:  розвиток людського та соціального капіталу, формування інклюзивних та відкритих структур управління, відновлення  мереж жорсткої та м’якої інфраструктури.

Published: April 2023

У статті досліджено вплив цифровізації на розвиток економічних систем в сучасних умовах становлення постіндустріального суспільства. З’ясовано, що цифровізація являє собою постіндустріальну економіку, яка базується на активному впровадженні інновацій та інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій в усі сфери бізнес-процесів та суспільного життя населення в цілому. Не дивлячись на макрорівень даної проблематики, питання цифровізації економіки потрібно вирішувати саме на регіональному рівні, оскільки це дає можливість врахувати наявний потенціал регіонів та розкрити його латентні можливості. Обґрунтовано, що напрями цифрової трансформації економіки для України повинні містити стимули з боку влади для сприяння цифровізації бізнесу, розбудови цифрової інфраструктури, оновлення проєктів, які засновані на засадах Індустрії 4.0. Ключовими факторами розвитку Індустрії 4.0. в Україні було визначено: консолідацію урядових структур та стейкхолдерів в питаннях формування та реалізації програм розвитку цифрових технологій; вирішення проблем внутрішнього ринку за рахунок залучення ІТ-сектору у процес вирішення поточних проблем промислового виробництва на основі консультування в частині бізнес-практик та хайтек-технологій; формування сучасної інноваційної екосистеми промислових сегментів та їх співпрацю з дослідницьким інноваційним сектором; інтеграцію в світові ланцюги Індустрії 4.0. Необхідно більше уваги приділяти розвитку електронної торгівлі, формуванню ІТ-екосистем. Виконання таких заходів дозволить Україні в найближчій перспективі на рівних конкурувати з європейськими країнами в цифровому просторі та сприяти впровадженню нових екосистем в різних галузях економіки.
АГРАРНА КРИЗА В УКРАЇНІ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО ЧАСУ: СТАН, ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ЗМІН
Authors: ГАРАФОНОВА Ольга Іванівна , КОЗЛОВСЬКИЙ Дмитро Олександрович
Published: April 2023

Досліджено стан, тенденції та перспективи змін аграрної кризи в Україні в умовах воєнного часу. Сільське господарство України є важливим джерелом засобів до існування для приблизно 13 мільйонів українців, які проживають у сільській місцевості. Хоча близько двох третин сільськогосподарської продукції виробляється підприємствами, сільські домогосподарства виробляють близько 32 відсотків.
Вплив війни на ширшу систему виробництва, що характеризується порушенням ланцюгів створення вартості та постачання, а також нестабільністю цін, мав наслідки для сільського населення, підкреслюючи їхню взаємозалежність від сільськогосподарської економіки країни. Хоча наслідки війни більш помітні в областях (регіонах) уздовж лінії фронту, вони також широко відчуваються на решті території країни.
Сьогодні Уряд України робить безпрецедентні кроки для оптимізації ресурсів щодо підтримки фермерства. Залізничні перевізники роблять усе можливе, щоб експортувати українську сільськогосподарську продукцію та імпортувати необхідні ресурси додому. Є плани щодо скасування мит на імпорт сільськогосподарської продукції. Також вживаються заходи щодо здешевлення палива для посадкових і матеріально-технічних компаній. Одне лише це є величезною допомогою.

Authors: Santi Ida Nur , Hayata Hayata , Bangun Bangun
Published: April 2023

The potential for oil palm production on peatlands is very diverse; different types of peat, maturity, and depth significantly influence yields. This study aims to determine the characteristics of peat with different depths in supporting the growth and productivity of oil palm. The research was conducted at the PT Kaswari Unggul Palm Oil Plantation in Jambi Province using laboratory surveys and test methods. Observations done were Plant height, Number of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB), Stem Circumference, FFB Weight, Midrib Length, Palm Oil Productivity, Light Intensity. Soil analysis were available-P, total-Fe-, total N, organic-C and CEC, pH, Al-exchange, total-K, Soil Moisture, and Peat Maturity. In shallow peat, the soil is more completely decomposed and provides nutrients that can be absorbed by plants so that plants grow better. The results showed that the shallow peat has a maturity level of sapric peat (very ripe) and peat in hemic maturity (slightly mature). Also, the depth of peat will affect the value of total-N, pH, available-P, and K-exchange and does not affect organic-C, total-Fe, CEC, and Al-exchange. Moreover, the growth and production of oil palm on shallow peat were better than on deep peat.

Authors: Gao Xirong , Zou Xia
Published: April 2023

To address the increasingly serious information leakage problem, the quantitative mechanism of implementing information protection was explored using information fragmentation tools and the general mechanism of enhancing information protection strength was examined in the virtual-real fusion network. Information fragmentation protection is fragmenting the information content sufficiently and decentralizing the store address sufficiently to prevent others from illegally accessing the information content. The validation analysis using arithmetic examples proved the effectiveness and feasibility of the constructed model for improving information protection. Compared with the virtual network, the virtual-real fusion network can increase the information fragmentation protection strength strength to the infinite status.

Adding steel fibers into concrete was considered as one of the most effective ways to restrain the crack development and improve the stiffness for reinforced concrete (RC) structures. To explore the reinforcement mechanism of steel fibers on the fatigue behavior of high-strength RC beam, eight high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete (HSSFRC) beams subjected to fatigue loading were tested in this study. The main design parameters considered in this work were stress level and steel fiber content. The failure mode, crack patterns, fatigue life, crack width, and stiffness degradation of HSSFRC beams under fatigue loading were discussed. The results showed that steel fibers could significantly increase the fatigue life, restrain crack development, and improve crack patterns of HSSFRC beams under fatigue loading compared to ordinary RC beams. Both the crack width and stiffness degradation rate of beams decrease with increasing steel fiber content. Besides, the empirical formulas for calculating the maximum crack width and midspan deflection of HSSFRC beam under fatigue loading were proposed and validated using experimental results.

Infant Mortality Rates (IMR) are important indicators of health status of any country. This research presents Time Series Analysis using Exponential Smoothing and Moving Averages (MA). Six years data on infant mortality covering 2016 to 2021 was obtained from Yobe State Specialist Hospital Damaturu. We used Single Exponential Smoothing, which at =2, the model showed a smoothed trend of infant mortality over the period of 72 months. A forecast made based on this smoothed trend indicated a constant rate of infant mortality over the period of 8 months with MAPE = 17.9165, MAD = 4.5133 and MSD = 30.2982. We also studied nature of trend using Moving Averages (MA) and forecast made at length = 4 showed a constant rate of forecast over the period of 8 months with MAPE = 19.3504, MAD = 4.8377, and MSD = 34.1556. Based on the three accuracy measures, single exponential smoothing method presented a better fit to the data. Highest infant mortality was observed in 2021 with total death of 331 which represents 17.08% of the total deaths.

In this research, DFT+U approach was used to investigate the performance of Iridium (Ir) and Boron (B) co-doped armchair (8, 8) Single-walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT). Calculations of the structural electronic and optical spectra analysis of the system under study were carried out using the ab’initio quantum simulations implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO and thermo_pw codes within the popular density functional theory. In the doping process, carbon atoms have been replaced by Ir and B atoms in the SWCNT, the investigations were done on the basis of distance of H2 (d) from the co-doped SWCNT at intervals of 6.12 Å, 6.45 Å and 6.77Å, variations of temperature, variations of external electric field, band gaps, optical adsorptions and binding energy variations were all taken in to account. It is found that Ir/B co-doping in pristine SWCNT significantly enhanced the H2 adsorption capacity of the SWCNT. Furthermore, an increase in temperature decrease the performance ability of the co-doped SWCNT, negative adsorptions intensities were recorded by temperature increase by 650, 700 and 750 0C, this can be termed as exothermic adsorption. Therefore it can be demonstrated that H2 by co-doped SWCNT undergoes endothermic adsorption under ambient temperature and shows exothermic adsorption under higher temperatures.

Published: April 2023

Research on depressogenic cognition has already documented negative cognitive styles and rumination with reference to depressive symptoms. The present study intended to explore the gender differences and interaction effect of rumination and negative cognitive style in predicting depression. The major hypotheses tested were (1) the interaction of negative cognitive styles and SRR predicts depression and (2) gender base differences would exist with reference to RRS and NCS. Study results revealed that both the study variable were significant predictors of depression. Similarly, the interaction effect NCS x RRS significantly predicted depression in a positive direction. Exploring the gender differences, it was found that females experienced more depressed feelings accompanied by a higher magnitude of ruminative response and negative cognitive style.

In the recent era of globalization, organizations need to avoid it, and environmental destruction has become an enormous challenge, especially when organizations face problems of environmental degradation. Because of this, researchers have paid considerable attention to understanding key determinants of green creativity (GC), an emerging area in the fields of sustainability and organizational behavior. Supporting social learning theory, this study examines the effect of spiritual leadership on employees' green creativity through the mediating mechanism of employee environmental commitment (EEC). Rationally, this study follows a post-positivist device and thus implements a quantitative research design approach. Multilevel data was collected from 405 employees working in universities and hospitals in Pakistan. Multilevel path analysis is applied by using Mplus. Our research reveals that spiritual leadership (SL) has a statistically positive effect on employee environmental commitment, which ultimately increases green creativity (GC). This research offers several solutions to save energy by turning off extra lights, garbage, and recycling so that we can overcome the losses we face in our daily lives.

Published: April 2023

Dirofilaria immitis is responsible for heartworm disease in dogs. Clinical signs are non-specific, ranging from asymptomatic to severe symptoms. The most common symptoms include coughing, emaciation, dyspnoea, and sudden loss of consciousness. Therefore, diagnosing heartworm infection in dogs requires a combination of methods, such as hematology and serology. This study was conducted on dogs with clinical signs, including anorexia, coughing, panting, and hind legs weakness, that was referred accidentally to a pet clinic in Thonburi district, Bangkok Province, Thailand, during 2020-2022. The examination was performed using a rapid enzyme immunoassay test and a thin blood smear. The total number of dogs admitted to a pet clinic during that period was 980. The result indicated infection of 21 (12 male and 9 female) dogs with heartworm (2.14%). The mean age of dogs was 5.62 ± 2.48 years. All infected dogs were classified under an open husbandry system that did not consistently use heartworm prevention products such as the macrocyclic lactone group. In the groups that received topical ectoparasites products, 10 dogs were detected with heartworm infection. The hematological changes in the infected dogs consisted of leucocytosis and increased levels of ALT, BUN, and creatinine. The study results can guide owners in choosing products that can prevent heartworm. Anti-mosquito nets should be deployed in areas where pets live, and always keep the environment clean.

In Zambia fish farms, Oreochromis andersonii is an important common indigenous fish species. Naturally, safe phytochemicals can effectively improve fish reproduction performance and their production potential. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of Kigelia africana on the gonadal development and the performance of Oreochromis andersonii. A total of 96 male fingerlings were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (D1-D4), and each treatment group had three replicates. The D1, D2, D3, and D4 groups were formulated to receive 0, 50, 100, and 150 g of powdered Kigelia africana/kg, respectively. The fish were fed the diets for 9 weeks, followed by the study parameter measurements at the end of the experiment. The highest mean body weight and gonadal weight were (29.8 ± 0.63 and 0.09 ± 0.010 g, respectively) for fish in the D2 group. There was no significant difference between the mean body weight of fish in different groups, but their mean gonadal weights differed significantly. The gonadal somatic index of fish differed significantly among treatment groups, with those in D2 having the highest mean value (0.36 ± 0.060). The highest mean standard length (103.3 ± 0.63 mm) and total length (126.0 ± 0.11 mm) of fish were observed for D1 and D2 groups, respectively. Additionally, the mean values for those parameters decreased with increasing Kigelia africana in the diet. The physicochemical parameters of water, including temperature and dissolved oxygen, ranged 16.8-23.1℃ and 0.6-2.2 mg/L, respectively; these were generally at low levels considering the optimum requirements for this fish species. In conclusion, Kigelia africana improved gonadal growth and development but did not promote overall fish growth. The best gonadal growth/development results of Kigelia africana powder were observed at a level of 50 g/kg, which can be used as a performance booster in the aquaculture production of Oreochromis andersonii.

Burnout and secondary traumatic stress in medical-surgical nursing
Authors: Sheffield Cheryl
Published: April 2023

Day to day care of patients throughout the continuum of life puts nurses at risk for burnout and secondary traumatic stress (STS). This mixed-methods study explores Medical-Surgical (MS) nursing burnout, STS, and support from professional nursing organization leadership and membership perspectives. Seventy-two nurses were recruited from a nursing organization website and surveyed to provide demographic and Professional Quality of Life Scale Version 5 (ProQOLv5) data. After quantitative data collection, nurse respondents were asked if they would like to participate in a Zoom interview. Qualitative data was derived from in-depth interviews of six medical-surgical nurses and free-text responses from three other participants. The nurses interviewed provided detailed personal definitions of burnout, which led to the identification of themes of “awareness” and “triggers: fueling the fire of burnout,” and also exposed the fluctuating nature of burnout. Participants defined STS as “invasiveness into one’s life” and reflected on the impact that it can have both personally and professionally. Despite the fluctuating nature of burnout and the invasiveness of STS, the nurses interviewed revealed a passion for nursing that served as a driving force for the day-to-day struggle, affirming, “I am a med-surg nurse.” Overcoming burnout and STS lead nurses to “lessons learned: I did not know what I did not know,” which focused on personal and professional growth and development. An overarching theme of “dream vs. reality” captures these stabilizing and destabilizing forces at play in bedside MS nursing.

Introduction: Harmonized teeth are synonymous with a healthy mouth, and age is no longer an obstacle to starting orthodontic treatment. There are numerous options involving technologies that serve people of the most varied ages and lifestyles. Among them, the aligner plates are ideal for those who want to correct imperfections in the dental position. Objective: It was to carry out a concise systematic review to highlight the main considerations and clinical outcomes of aligner plates in orthodontic treatments to achieve dental harmonization and aesthetic balance. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The search was carried out from December 2022 to February 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases, using articles from 2012 to 2022. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed accordingly, according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 68 articles were found, 22 articles were evaluated and 16 were included and developed in this systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 14 studies with a high risk of bias and 22 studies that did not meet GRADE. It was concluded that the aligners are created by computer software, require only one impression, require a few additional tests, and allow excellent predictability of the treatment when used within their indications. They have a satisfactory aesthetic level, are comfortable, easy to clean, and cause less trauma when compared to conventional fixed appliances. However, serious skeletal discrepancies cannot be treated with the aligner plates, there may also be non-cooperation on the part of the patient, in which the use of the device is insufficient, making the treatment ineffective, high cost, slight intrusion of posterior teeth may occur, speech disturbances, dysphagia, and increased salivary flow.

MicroRNA-221-3p promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in gastric cancer by modulating PIK3R1
Authors: Hasan Mohanad , Safaralizadeh Reza , Kondori Mohammad , Navid Saeid
Published: April 2023

Background: Gastric cancer (GC), which is the fourth most prevalent cancer in the world is significantly threatened the health of people, particularly those in developing nations. Nearly all significant pathological and physiological mechanisms, including apoptosis, proliferation, cell cycle, differentiation, as well as DNA damage, are regulated by miRNAs. This study looked at the miR-221-3p expression and to identified it's target genes in GC tissue specimens and cell lines, to comprehend the miR-221-3p influence in the development of GC.
Methods: GC tissues and matched marginal tissues were taken from 50 patients undergo gastric surgery. MiR-221-3p mimics, inhibitors and negative controls (NC) were transfected into MKN-45 cells, using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent. The proliferation was assessed by the MTT assay. Cell migration and invasion was assessed by Transwell assay. By combining Western blotting and qRT-PCR, the impact of miR-221-3p in the PIK3R1 expression in gastric cancer cells was examined.
Results: Overexpression of miR-221-3p significantly enhanced the migration, invasion and proliferation of gastric cancer cells, conversely, transfection of miR-221-3p inhibitor led to opposite effect caused by overexpression of this miRNA on phenotypic characteristics of gastric cancer cell line. Additional investigation revealed that PIK3R1 was downregulated significantly by overexpression of miR-221-3p. Whereas, when the MKN-45 cells transfected with miR-221-3p inhibitor, PIK3R1 was noticeably overexpressed.
Conclusions: Our current data indicate that miR-221-3p possibly work as a tumor promoter in the development of gastric cancer by negatively regulating PIK3R1 expression, hence miR-221-3p/ PIK3R1 highlighted as promising therapeutic targets or prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for GC patients.

Published: April 2023

Objective: Certain advantages of donkeys are still not listed as for other equine species. Moreover, donkeys lack comprehensive scientific studies. The present study examines the histological architecture and histochemical characteristics of the esophagus in the Iraqi local breed donkey (Equus asinus).
Materials and Methods: Eight esophagus samples were collected from a local breed donkey. Tissue specimens (~1 cm³) were collected from the cervical, thoracic, and abdominal regions of the esoph¬agus and processed via routine histological technique. The tissue sections were stained with hema¬toxylin and eosin, Massons Trichrome, and combined Alcian blue (pH 2.5) plus PAS (AB-PAS).
Results: The esophagus of the local breed donkey had folded mucosa wrapped by thin non-ke¬ratinized stratified squamous epithelium. The heights of epithelia of the cervical and thoracic regions of the esophagus were significantly higher than that of the abdominal regions. The lamina propria consisted of dense fibrous tissue that appeared thickest in the thoracic and abdominal regions of the esophagus. The muscularis mucosa disappears at the cervical region, while the thoracic and abdominal regions of the esophagus contain thick, scattered, interrupted bundles of smooth muscle fibers. Tunica submucosa was very thick at the thoracic and abdominal regions of the esophagus, composed of loose connective tissue filled with compound tubular mucose¬rous esophageal glands. Using a combined AB-PAS stain, mucous alveoli within the esophageal glands indicated strong acidic mucopolysaccharide. Tunica muscularis of the cervical and thoracic regions was built up by striated muscle fibers and turned into smooth type at the abdominal region of the esophagus.
Conclusion: The esophagus of the local breed donkey shows considerable histological similarities with the other mammals that make this species reliable as an experimental model of digestive tissue.

Published: April 2023

Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of using dried chaya leaf meal (DCLM) as a protein feed in a diet on growth performance, blood profiles, and carcass quality in a native Thai chicken.
Materials and Methods: Eighty 14-day-old Pradu Hangdum chicks were divided into four groups with four replicates each: control (without DCLM), 10%, 20%, and 30% DCLM inclusion in mash feed. Growth performance was recorded weekly until 98 days of age. Blood profile, carcass quality, and visceral organ weight were measured at 98 days of age.
Results: The 10%–30% DCLM inclusion in the diet did not affect feed intake or feed efficiency; however, the body weight gain of chicks decreased linearly with the increase in DCLM inclusion. The heterophils, eosinophils, and monocytes were linearly increased with the increasing DCLM levels in the groups. The serum blood chemistry did not differ among the groups, while the AST in 10% and 20% DCLM was lower than in the control. Increasing the level of DCLM in the chicken diet did not affect carcass quality.
Conclusion: The DCLM can be used as a feed ingredient in Thai native chicken feed up to 20%.

Objective: This research was arranged to explore the effect of supplementation of a combination of Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a new probiotic in fermented rice straw-based rations on in vitro digestibility and ruminal characteristics.
Materials and Methods: A randomized group design with 3 types of treatment and 4 replications as a group was used in this study. A probiotic inoculum containing L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae with 1 × 1010 colony-forming unit (CFU)/ml. Treatments were followed by: P1 = complete rations without probiotics (control), P2 = P1 supplemented 0.5% probiotics, and P3 = P1 supplemented 1% probiotics. Substrate complete rations were based on the fermented rice straw and concen¬trate (60%:40%). Parameters of digestibility and rumen fermentation products were determined after 48 h of incubation.
Results: Probiotics supplemented with fermented rice straw-based rations significantly increased (p < 0.05) digestibility and rumen characteristics in vitro. Supplementation with 1% probiotics (P3) produces the highest digestibility compared to other treatments: in-vitro dry matter digestibil¬ity (IVDMD) (55%), in-vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) (58.28%), in-vitro crude protein digestibility (IVCPD) (84.42%), in-vitro acid detergent fiber digestibility (IVADFD) (53.99%), in-vitro neutral detergent fiber digestibility (IVNDFD) (58.39%), and in-vitro cellulose digestibility (IVCLD) (67.12%). Rumen pH (6.76–6.80) did not change significantly (p > 0.05) due to supplemented probiotics. Probiotic supplementation in rations significantly (p < 0.05) increased the content of NH3 and total volatile fatty acid (VFA). Supplementation with 1% probiotic (P3) showed the highest concentration of NH3 (26.56 mg/100 ml) and was also followed by the total VFA (115.75 mM) compared to the control (22.59 mg/100 ml and 103.00 mM, respectively).
Conclusion: Supplementation of 1% probiotics (combination of L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae) containing 1 × 1010 CFU/ml in fermented rice straw-based rations increases nutrient digestibility, that is, IVDMD, IVOMD, IVCPD, IVADFD, IVNDFD, and IVCLD, and also increases rumen fermenta¬tion, which is the concentration of NH3 and total VFA.
