It was found that F. succinogenes population was highest
(p=0.010) in control group, while, R. flavefaciens and R. albus
were found lowest (p=0.072 and p=0.015, respectively).
Moreover, R. albus population in 7% coconut oil with 50 or
100 g/day of garlic powder tended to be higher (p=0.066)
than 7% coconut oil supplementation. However, total predominant
cellulolytic bacteria population was found lowest
(p=0.023) in control group. In this study, the percentages of
cellulolytic bacteria populations ranged from 1.83 to 3.77% of
total bacteria population. The control group tended to be
lowest (p=0.084) in % of cellulolytic bacterial population.
However, Fig. 1 showed the effect of dietary supplemented
treatments on the percentage of F. succinogenes population and
found that all supplemented treatments could significantly
reduce this population. Although the percentage of R.
flavefaciens and R. albus population were not significantly
different among treatments, however, supplemented treatments
tended to increase the percentage of R. albus population.
