Abstract

The aim of the experiment reported here was to compare equine faeces with inocula obtained from equine caecum, ventral colon and dorsal colon for use in the in vitro gas production technique. Freeze-dried grass (FDG), high-temperature dried grass (HDG) and unmolassed sugar beet pulp (BP) were incubated with either caecal fluid (C), dosal colonic fluid (D), ventral colonic fluid (V) or faeces (F) as the source of inoculum. Substrate/inocula combinations were fermented using an in vitro gas production (GP) technique. Mathematical analysis of cumulative gas production curves revealed an interaction (P
