Extract

The development of alternative in vitro techniques, such as the gas production technique, has lead to the introduction of several mathematical models to describe and interpret the fermentation characteristics of feedstuffs. While there are enough data to validate each gas production model regarding its potential to estimate in situ degradation parameters, few studies have been conducted to compare models. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the in situ degradation characteristics of several feedstuffs and the gas production parameters using different mathematical models.
