Relative Rate of in Vitro Cellulose Disappearance as a Possible Estimator of Digestible Dry Matter Intake1

S. S. Gill, H. R. Conrad and J. W. Hibbs

Department of Dairy Science, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, Wooster 44691

ABSTRACT

In this investigation a correlation of 0.993 was found between relative rate of digestible cellulose disappearance in vitro and digestible dry matter intake of cows consuming high dry matter legume-grass silage. It is concluded that relative rate of in vitro cellulose digestion is a promising method for estimating digestible dry matter intake of forages.
