Extract

Ruminal cellulose digestion is a complex microbial process that involves adhesion of microbial cells to cellulose, cellulose hydrolysis, and fermentation of the resulting cellodextrins to volatile fatty acid, methane, and CO2 (Weimer, 1996). Information about how cellulose digestion and fermentation are affected by different ruminal environmental conditions is necessary to understand ruminant performance (Mourino, 2001). The aim of the present study was to elucidate the impact of type of supplemental non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) (starch and/or sucrose) on invitro first order disappearance kinetic of commercial cellulose (Cell).
