In vitro fermentation techniques (IVFT) have been widely used to evaluate the nutritive value
of feeds for ruminants and in the last decade to assess the effect of different nutritional …

This review considers microbial inocula used in in vitro systems from the perspective of their
ability to degrade or ferment a particular substrate, rather than the microbial species that it …

Methodology used to measure in vitro gas production is reviewed to determine impacts of
sources of variation on resultant gas production profiles (GPP). Current methods include …

Gas production techniques are used in many laboratories to study fermentation kinetics of
ruminant feeds, and the major source of variation is often the inoculum. Fifteen substrates …

Use of preserved rumen fluid (RF) as microbial inoculum for in vitro gas production
techniques (IVGPT) would be of practical importance when access to ruminally cannulated …

Six sheep were fed twice a day on a different ratio of sheep pellets and hay (20: 80 (diet 1),
40: 60 (diet 2) and 80: 20 (diet 3)) in a replicated Latin square design to study the effect of …

Interassay error caused by the inconsistent nature of rumen fluid inoculum confounds
comparisons of forage in vitro neutral detergent fiber (NDF) digestibility (NDFD) analyzed in …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this trial was to evaluate the replacement of rumen fluid with
faeces as inoculum in studying the in vitro fermentation characteristics of diets for ruminants …

Parasite derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been proposed to play key roles in the
establishment and maintenance of infection. Calicophoron daubneyi is a newly emerging …

A simple and inexpensive in vitro feed evaluation system which estimates microbial
fermentation by measuring gas production and allows for adjustment of liquid dilution rate …
