Abstract
SummaryA method is described in which a liquid suspension of sheep faeces is used as an inoculum in the in vitro determination of digestibility of feedingstuffs for ruminants. The modified method was applied to 21 samples of grass, ten of lucerne, and a variety of other food materials. The results correlated closely (r = 0·98) with the in vivo digestibilities, and the relationship between in vitro and in vivo digestibilities was represented by the equation: in vivo digestibility = in vitro digestibility × 1·003.
