Extract
Most protein systems include an estimation of the proportion of protein (nitrogen x 6.25) which is immediately soluble in the rumen. However, since the procedures employed generally involve mechanically washing samples in cold water the validity of these values have been questioned. The aim of the present experiment was to compare different solvents with rumen liquor for determining the proportion of soluble dry matter (DM) in grass and grass silage.
