Extract

The present communication deals with the results of quantitative investigations into the action of thermophilic cellulose-splitting bacteria on the fibre of a number of typical feeding stuffs. The primary object was to ascertain whether such measurements could form the basis of a quick in vitro method for estimating the digestibility of the fibrous constituent of feeding stuffs and, in addition, could lead to a method for following the process of lignification in herbage and in forage crops.
