Effects of various inulin levels on in vitro
______________________________________________________________________________________
AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various inulin levels on in vitro true dry matter digestibility (IVTD DM ) and in vitro neutral detergent fibre digestibility (IVTD NDF ) of corn silage (CS), perennial ryegrass (PR), and common vetch/oat hay (VO). Inulin was added to the fermenter at concentrations of 0 (CSC, PRC, VOC), 100 (CS100, PR100, VO100), 200 (CS200, PR200, VO200), and 300 (CS300, PR300, VO300) mg/litre of total culture fluid using an in vitro Daisy II incubator. Each fermenter contained 1600 ml buffer solution and 400 ml rumen fluid.
