Extract

Fibrolytic enzymes are typically cellulases that degrade cellulose or xylanases that act on hemicellulose (Beauchemin et al., 1995). Enzymes applied to forages immediately before incubation enhance the digestion of dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) suggesting that fibrolytic enzymes applied at feeding can improve digestion in ruminants. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of fibrolytic enzyme on the nutritive value of lucerne hay using in vitro gas production (GP) and in situ techniques.
