Extract

Gas measurement provides a useful data on digestion kinetics of both soluble and insoluble fractions of feedstuffs (Getachew et al. 1998). Carbohydrate portion of each feed is divided into three digestible fraction: the A fraction, containing sugars, short oligosaccharides, and organic acids; the B1 fraction, containing starch and pectin; and B2, the digestible fiber fraction (Doane et al. 1998). The objective of this study was to measure of fermentation parameters of corn silage treated by urea and formaldehyde using gas production technique.
