Extract

Gas measurement provides a useful data on digestion kinetics of both soluble and insoluble fractions of feedstuffs (Getachew et al., 1998). Carbohydrate portion of each feed is divided into three digestible fraction: the A fraction, containing sugars, short oligosaccharides, and organic acids; the B1 fraction, containing starch and pectin; and B2, the digestible fibre fraction (Doane et al. 1998). The objective of this study was to measure of fermentation parameters of tropical clover (Trifolium resupinatum) (pre bud, full bud, pre bloom and full bloom) using gas production technique.
