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 …

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 …

Direct-fed microbial products (DFM) are probiotics that can be used advantageously in
ruminant production. The in vitro gas production technique (IVGPT) is a method to simulate …

To evaluate the silage quality, digestibility, in vitro ruminal fermentation of silages mixed by
different rates of alfalfa and whole crop corn, alfalfa and corn were mixed and ensiled at the …

This study evaluated the effects of different combinations of added lactic acid bacteria and
cellulase applied at two growth stages on chemical composition and in vitro rumen …

Recently, we developed an alternate method to measure in vitro neutral detergent fiber
(NDF) digestibility (ivNDFD) based on a primed rumen fluid inoculum. Pretreating rumen …

Saccharina latissima is a brown seaweed that could be used in ruminant feeding, but its fast
deteriorating and seasonal growth nature limit their utilisation in the practice. Ensiling could …

BACKGROUND Low rumen pH is proposed to be a major mechanism for low methane
(CH4) emissions from sheep fed forage rape. However, it is difficult to separate this from …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of sucrose, formic acid and lactic acid
bacteria (LAB) inoculant on chemical composition and in vitro rumen digestibility of drooping …

Undigested neutral detergent fiber (uNDF) is becoming more widely recognized as an
important fiber fraction in forage quality assessment because it explains a portion of NDF …
