ABSTRACT
The effect of including two sources of xylanase (produced by Trichoderma viride or rumen
microorganisms, Megazyme, Ireland)) into the incubation solution on in vitro DM digestibility
(IVDMD) determined by the cellulase-pepsin method using filter bags and a DaisyII Incubator
(Dl; Ankom Co, Fairport, NY) was studied. The source of xylanase did not significantly affect
IVDMD. Moreover, irrespective of the concentration used, none of the xylanases improved IVDMD
determination.
