Comparison of In Vivo and In Vitro Digestibility in Rabbits

The apparent dry matter digestibility of diets for rabbits was measured in vivo (ADMD<sub>vv</sub>) and in vitro with the Ankom Daisy<sup>II</sup> Incubator. Four diets were tested: low fiber (LF), LF + 5% of pregerminated fenugreek seeds (PGFS) (LF5), LF + 10% PGFS (LF10), a...
