Extract

In sacco studies are at present the most practical way of estimating the rumen degradability of feeds. The commonly adopted procedure (Standard Method = SM) has a number of disadvantages, including night work and the need to select bags at each sampling time. The Complete Exchange Method (CEM), described here, has been developed to meet the need for a convenient routine procedure.
