Extract

There is contradictory evidence regarding the effect on the gas production (GP) profile of a feed if the incubation medium is shaken during the fermentation. In experiments conducted by Theodorou et al. (personal communication), there was no effect of shaking on the rate of gas production (when the medium was shaken after a recording). However, when buffer solutions (containing no substrate) were continually shaken, there was an effect on the volume of gas produced (Rymer et ai., 1998). The objectives of this experiment were therefore to determine whether die time of shaking affected the GP profile, and whether there was any significant difference between laboratories in this observation.
