Relationships between chemical composition, dry matter degradation and in vitro gas production of several ruminant feeds

Thirty-eight samples of 12 feedstuffs were used to study relationships between in vitro true digestibility of dry matter (IVTD) and in vitro gas production. Influences of chemical constituents on gas and volatile fatty acid (VFA) production were investigated. There was a negative ( P
