In vitro digestibility of foodstuffs with inoculum of bovine feces or ruminal fluid

The present experiment was developed to compare ruminal fluid collected by ruminal cannula or esophageal probe and bovine feces in two dilutions, 200/200 (buffer/feces) or 100/300, as inoculum source, for the determination of in vitro (DAISYII/ANKOM® ) digestibility of wheat meal, ground cor...

Description
Summary:The present experiment was developed to compare ruminal fluid collected by ruminal cannula or esophageal probe and bovine feces in two dilutions, 200/200 (buffer/feces) or 100/300, as inoculum source, for the determination of in vitro (DAISYII/ANKOM&reg; ) digestibility of wheat meal, ground corn, soybean and canola meal, and Coast-cross and Tifton 85 hay, with three replications. Different inoculum did not influence (p > 0.05) in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of wheat meal and ground corn. However, the digestibility of soybean meal and Coast-cross hay with inoculum of feces dilution 200/200 was lower (p < 0.05) than that of the other food. In the case of canola meal and Tifton 85 hay, the IVDMD with inoculum from ruminal cannula and esophageal probe was better (p < 0.05) than the others. Except for canola meal and Tifton 85 hay, the bovine feces as an inoculum source (100/300) was efficient to evaluate IVDMD.
