In vitro gas production parameters of high fat sunflower meal treated with formaldehyde, sodium hydroxide or exogenous enzyme

Extract
Gas production technique is a useful procedure to assess digestible value of the ruminant feeds. The feeding value of the sunflower meal (SFM) depends on the oil extraction process, variety of sunflower and the proportion of the hulls removed during the extraction. Formaldehyde decreases protein degradability and NaOH (Chen et al., 2007) and exogenous enzymes (Eun and Beauchemin, 2007) increase digestibility. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of formaldehyde, sodium hydroxide or exogenous enzymes on the gas production parameters of sunflower meal containing high fat (165 g fat /kg DM) during in vitro fermentation.
