In vitro fermentation techniques (IVFT) have been widely used to evaluate the nutritive value
of feeds for ruminants and in the last decade to assess the effect of different nutritional …

Simple Summary The in vitro gas production technique, either based on volume or pressure
measurements, was initially set up for the evaluation of the rate and extent of fermentation of …

To decrease the time and cost of experiments as well as the use of animals in nutrition
research, in vitro methodologies have become more commonplace in the field of ruminant …

There are several techniques for the measurement of laboratory scale biogas production.
This thesis describes the study and evaluation of the most significant and commonly used …

Simple Summary The utilization of animal donors of rumen fluid for laboratory experiments
can raise ethical concerns due to invasive methods of collection (rumen cannulated or …

Simple Summary The mixture of maize (Zea mays L.) with Moringa oleifera (MOL) during
silage can improve the nutritional quality of the silage, but the impact of the proportion of …

A fully automated in vitro incubation system consisting of 32 incubation bottles (125 ml) each
fitted with a pressure sensor and a solenoid valve was developed to monitor total gas …

The true dry matter (DM) digestibility (TDMd) and metabolizable energy (ME) contents of
feeds are frequently assessed from the amount of digestible neutral detergent fibre (dNDF) …

The in vitro gas production (GP) technique has been widely used for feed evaluation.
However, variability in results limits useful comparisons. Results from a ring test undertaken …

This study compared measured gas production (GP) and computed CH 4 production values
provided by closed or vented bottles connected to gas collection bags. Two forages and 3 …
