Estimating the extent of degradation of ruminant feeds from a description of their gas production profiles observed<i>in vitro</i>:derivation of models and other mathematical considerations

Equations to describe gas production profiles, obtained using manual or automated systems for in vitro fermentation of ruminant feeds, were derived from first principles by considering a simple three-pool scheme. The pools represented were the potentially degradable and undegradable feed fractions, ... View More
