Effect of tannins and drying methods on in vitro dry matter and crude protein degradability and digestibility of soybean meal for ruminants

Scientific Reports
Soybean meal is a widely used protein source for ruminants, but its high ruminal degradability can limit its nutritional value. Tannins reduce ruminal crude protein degradability by forming tannin-protein complexes, which are facilitated by water ...

The Effect of the Stirring Speed on the In Vitro Dry Matter Degradability of Feeds

Fermentation, 2023
In vitro methods have been standardized and tested to correctly simulate the rumen environment and fermentation process. A few studies have verified that the feed degradability achieved as a result of stirring the samples is higher when the samples are ...
