Digestion of wood-based hemicellulose extracts as screened by in vitro gas production method and verified in vivo using sheep

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the potential of pressurized hot water extracted hemicellulose fractions from various wood species as feeds for ruminants. In Experiment 1, the fermentability of several hemicellulose extracts was screened using an in vitro gas production method. Th...
