Extract

In vitro cumulative gas production is a means to determine the rate and extent of feed fermentation. However, different apparatus and methods used at different laboratories cause variations in the gas production profiles (GPP) obtained. The objective of this experiment was to determine whether any significant difference between laboratories was observed when the same apparatus and method was used.
