Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource For some legume hays, cellulose digestibilities differed significantly between the in vitro and in vivo methods.
- Method / resource The in vitro technique showed good reproducibility, with variances generally less than those of the corresponding sheep trial data.
- Association The in vitro cellulose digestibility of forages was not affected by the type of forage fed to the inoculum steer.
- Association Little difference in in vitro cellulose digestion was found among rumen juice, buffer extract and resuspended microorganism inocula.
- Recommendation The in vitro technique is indicated as a possible tool for evaluating the nutritive value of forages.
