## Abstract The total collection method for determining digestibility has been compared with a ratio method that uses as a marker the absorption at wavelength 406 mΞΌ of plant chromogens extracted from the food and faeces. Results showed that when dried grass was fed to sheep the chromogen method g

Intact and rumen cannulated sheep were used to study the digestion of an artificially dried grass offered either in a chopped or a ground andpelleted form at energy intakes ranging from 1-3.2 x the energy requirement for maintenance. In each form of the grass the digestibility of all dietary constit
The effects of an intra-ruminal infusion of a mixture of methionine (7.0 g day-l) and sodium sulphate (6.7 g day-l) on the digestion of grass silage were examined in four sheep fitted with cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum. There were no significant (P z 0.05) effects of the infusion on th
