: The rumen fluid extracts obtained from goats in our in vitro digestibility experiment were utilized in accord with ethical principles and regulatory requirements. The extraction process received approval from the veterinary unit of the Arid Lands Institute (IRA) of Médenine on behalf of the Tunisian committee entrusted with overseeing animal experimentation ethics. The extracts were responsibly collected from goats bred within the Wildlife and Livestock Laboratory of the IRA, following rigorous protocols established in compliance with animal ethics approvals. Collection methods, such as using a fistula or stomach tubing, were carefully implemented to ensure the welfare and well-being of the animals involved.
