Recommendations on the utilization of the in vitro, in situ and enzymatic methods for the study of feed digestion
Outlines the measuring rates of feed degradation in the rumen, w. ref. to parameters used in ruminal degradation kinetics; models used for the estimation of ruminal degradation rates; and the application of the information provided by feed degradation rate studies.
The livestock revolution is occurring but it is being preceded by the feed revolution because of the substantial mount of feed required to supply by the increased animal population. However, the opportunities to meet the demand for feed depend on the existing production systems. This paper looks ...
