Abstract

Twelve forages from the arid zone of Niger were evaluated with the IVGPT, that appears to be the most suitable technique for use in developing countries where resources may be limited. Differences emerged between Gramineae and Leguminosae for in vitro fermentation (ie, degradability, gas and volatile fatty acids production, kinetics). Strong relationships were evidenced between in vitro characteristics and chemical composition parameters for all the forages.
