Abstract
The nutritive value of a given ruminant feedstuff is best evaluated using the combination of chemica analysis, in vitro and in vivo feeding responses (Van Soest, 1987). Recent studies have further shown that degradation characteristics of foods, gas production characteristics, fibre components and the in vitro dry matter (DM) digestibility (Tilley and Terry, 1963) could be ranked in declining order of reliability as predictors of both intake and in vivo apparen digestibility of feedstuffs (Khazaal et al, 1995). The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of urea treatment o; sorghum stover (SS) on rumen kinetics and feeding responses by growing Yankasa rams.
