Extract

Strained rumen fluid (SRF) obtained from slaughtered animals has been used to estimate in vitro dry matter degradation (DMD) of feeds (Mohamed et al., 2002). This study compared in vitro methods using SRF either from fistulated or slaughtered sheep with in sacco method to estimate in vitro degradation of various feed raw materials.
