Extract

Rusitec has become the method of choice when studying the in vitro ruminal effects of the gram-positive ionophore monensin. The objective of the current study was to determine the in vitro effects of monensin treatment on volatile fatty acid (VFA) molar production and methane production from two complete diets which varied in maize silage:grass silage ratio and NaOH treated wheat grain:molassed sugar beet feed (MSBF) ratio.
