Extract

There is much discussion about the effect of the diet of the inoculum donor animal. The ideal diet should supply microrganisms and they should be able to degrade the feed. But when we evaluate several different feeds by a gas production assay, it is very difficult to feed donor animals with a diet composed by all feeds that will be tested. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of three different tropical diets on inoculum ability to degrade the feeds.
