Methods to study degradation of ruminant feeds

Abstract: Ruman degradation is crucial in the supply of dietary nutrients to meet the nutrient demands of the anaerobic microbes and body tissues of ruminant animals. Therefore, it is essential to study the dynamics of rumen degradation of various feeds before their potential use to formulate nutritious diets for ruminant animals. Amongst many methods that have been used in the past, the in sacco method has been the most effective method to study rumen degradation. However, this method is undesirable due to its implicat… Show more

“…The patterns of mean degradation with increasing time from 0 to 96 h for the fresh inocula also compared well with the published values of similar feeds that were tested in sacco in fistulated animals (AFRC, 1993;Chaudhry, 2007;Mohamed and Chaudhry, 2008). In fact the degradation of grass nuts in this study was similar to the earlier data for a different sample of the same batch of grass nuts (Chaudhry, 2008).…”

“…The extent of variations between rapeseed meal and grass nuts for CP, EE, NDF, and ADF contents confirmed that these two feeds represented the contrasting composition for this purpose. In fact, the chemical components of these two feeds compared well with their published values (AFRC, 1993;Mohamed and Chaudhry, 2008).…”
