Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro gas measuring techniques for assessment of nutritional quality of feeds: a review
TL;DR: A review of the available in vitro gas measuring techniques used for feed evaluation with emphasis on assessing their relative advantages and disadvantages is given in this article, where the authors highlight the potential of gas techniques for tackling some interesting areas of research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between chemical composition, dry matter degradation and in vitro gas production of several ruminant feeds
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between in vitro true digestibility of dry matter (IVTD) and in vitro gas production was investigated and the influence of chemical constituents on gas and volatile fatty acid (VFA) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tropical browses: contents of phenolic compounds, in vitro gas production and stoichiometric relationship between short chain fatty acid and in vitro gas production
TL;DR: The stoichiometric relationship between in vitro gas measured on incubation of tannin-containing browses in buffered rumen fluid and calculated from short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production was investigated in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of polyethylene glycol on in vitro degradability of nitrogen and microbial protein synthesis from tannin-rich browse and herbaceous legumes.
TL;DR: The difference in IVDN observed in the absence and presence of PEG indicates the amount of protein protected from degradation in the rumen by tannins, which is important in formulating a sound supplementation strategy for efficient utilisation of basal as well as supplementary diet components.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different types and levels of tannins on rumen in vitro gas production and its kinetics, in vitro true degradability (IVTD) and rumen degradation, and microbial protein synthesis by incubating alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) hay in buffered rumen fluid.
