In vitro investigation of the ruminal digestion kinetics of different nitrogen fractions of 15N-labelled timothy forage.

An in vitro method based on 15N-labelled forage nitrogen (N) was developed to study ruminal N metabolism of soluble N (SN), insoluble N (ISN) and neutral detergent insoluble N (NDIN) fractions of timothy forage. Timothy grass was grown on replicated experimental plots with one plot receiving 15N-lab...
