The effects of different level Spinach tree leaves Cnidoscolus aconitifolius , and high concentrate diets supplemented with micro minerals on in vitro rumen fermentation profiles were investigated. The basal diets consisted of 30% king grass ( Pennisetum hybrid), and 70% concentrate. The mineral mix consists of FeCl 2 .4H 2 O; MnCl 2 .4H 2 O; CuSO 4 .5H 2 O; ZnSO 4 .7H 2 O; and CoCl 2 .6H 2 O. The treatments were Basal Ration (B), B+5% C. aconitifolius leaf (BC), B+2% mineral mix (BM), and B + 5% C. aconitifolius leaf + 2% mineral mix (BCM). The treatment diets were incubated for 48 h. Completely Randomized Design with one-factor consists of four treatments, and three replications were used in this experiment followed by One Way Analysis of Variance for statistical analysis. The gas production, N-ammonia, propionate, dry matter, and organic matter digestibility decreased significantly (p 0.05) but increased significantly (p 0.05) were observed for Protozoa population, methane production, acetate, and butyrate proportion. It was concluded that supplementation of C. aconitifolius leaves to the high concentrate diet has no effect on the fermentation variables whereas it combination with micro minerals reduced the fermentability and increased microbial protein synthesis in the rumen.
