Determination of <em>in vitro</em> digestibility of <em>Cynodon</em> grasses through different methods
Abstract
The aim of this experiment was to evaluate in vitro dry matter and organic matter digestibility of Cynodon cultivars using ANKOM’s DAISY system and the traditional method proposed by Tilley and Terry (1963). Five grasses were tested: tifton 44, tifton 85, coast-cross, estrela-roxa and porto-rico. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design (p > 0.05) in a 2x5 (two methods and five cultivars) factorial scheme. No difference in digestibility (p > 0.05) was observed between the cultivars when evaluated by Tilley and Terry’s method but there were differences (p < 0.05) when digestibility was evaluated by ANKOM’s DAISY methodology. On the other hand, when cultivars were analyzed separately, variations between methodologies were observed in dry matter and organic matter digestibility in vitro.Downloads
