Ruman degradation is crucial in the supply of dietary nutrients to meet the nutrient demands
of the anaerobic microbes and body tissues of ruminant animals. Therefore, it is essential to …

The objectives of this study were 1) to determine whether a relationship exists between
molar proportions of volatile fatty acids in the rumen and milk odd-and branched-chain fatty …

A range of feed evaluation techniques is available to predict the nutritional value of ruminant
feedstuffs. The aim of this paper was to critically evaluate use of gas production (GP) data as …

The objectives of this study were:(1) to predict the rumen fermentation pattern from milk fatty
acids using a machine learning technique, ie artificial neural networks (ANN) combined with …

The need for global feed supply traceability, the high-throughput testing demands of feed
industry, and regulatory enforcement drive the need for feed analysis and make extremely …

A range of Australian woody perennial plant species (n= 128 samples) were screened in
vitro for overall fermentability and the capacity to induce favourable metabolic pathways in …

Lactobacillus plantarum and molasses have been shown to function as fermentation
modifiers in both silage and rumen fermentation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of …

Two experiments were completed to determine the in vivo digestibility of organic matter
(OMD) of forages in sheep. The first experiment was done with 12 forages (database 12) …

Dry matter (DM) degradation of wheat straw (WS), barley straw (BS), lucerne hay (LH) and
maize silage (MS) was determined using two different techniques:(i) in vitro gas production …

Forty samples of grass silages, made from the five most widely used grass species in
ruminant nutrition (Dactylis glomerata L., Phleum pratense L., Lolium perenne L., Festuca …
