Forage cell wall content (CWC), accounting for 400 to 600 g kg-1 dry matter (DM) (Van Soest, 1982) and its rumen degradability (CWD) are major factors influencing the animal's energy supply from forages. Therefore, in order to maximise the nutritional potential of forages for ruminants, the ability to accurately and rapidly measure CWD is crucial. This is becoming increasingly important as feed evaluation methods move towards assessing nutrient supply. While the measurement of CWD is largely based on the polyester bag technique an experiment was undertaken to study the potential of measuring CWD in vitro for different forage types.Three methods of measuring CWD were compared using four samples each of grass (G), grass silage (GS), maize silage (MS) and straw (S) in a factorial design. The methods were; 1) fresh (undried) forage, chopped to 1 cm lengths using an homogeniser, was incubated in the rumens of sheep in polyester bags (pore size 43um) for different lengths of time (0, 3, 8, 16, 24, 45 and 72h).
