In addition to assessing rate and extent of gas production from fermenting forages in vitro with rumen micro-organisms, gas production methods (e.g. Theodorou et at, 1994) may be used also to study the degradation kinetics of forage dry matter and its fractions. As the substrate dry matter can be...

Effect of offering three amounts of maize stover to dairy cows on intake and selection
Presents results of a study conducted to determine the intake and selectivity of sheep and cattle offered sorghum stover in varying quantities and form (either chopped or unchopped). Includes data on live-weight gain, stover offered, stover intake, sheath intake, stem intake and stover refusal of...
