RUMINANT DIGESTION IN VITRO AS AFFECTED BY INOCULUM DONOR, COLLECTION DAY, AND FERMENTATION TIME

摘要: A two-stage in vitro digestibility technique was used to study variations the viability of rumen microflora among nine sheep on three different days. Interactions between two stages were studied from effect microbial fermentation time cellulose, noncellulosic organic matter, and matter alfalfa hay wheat straw. Small sporadic differences animals less significant than those The generally smaller observed vivo determinations with sheep. days suggested result consumption water at varying intervals prior collection liquor, giving rise inocula various dilutions.Most digested fraction digestible by acid–pepsin fermentation, whereas very little same straw acid–pepsin, remainder being a...
