Comparison of Faecal versus Rumen Inocula for the Estimation of NDF Digestibility

Comparison of Faecal versus Rumen Inocula for the Estimation of NDF Digestibility

Cow faeces have been investigated as alternative inoculum to replace rumen fluid to determine neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility (NDFD). Aims of this study were to estimate: (1) the NDFD (48 h) of feed ingredients using a rumen inoculum in comparison with faecal inocula from cows fed diets...
