Urine Allantoin Protocol

This video shows the laboratory analysis procedure for allantoin in urine, which is a metabolite that can be used to estimate rumen microbial outflow.

In Vitro Gas Production Protocol

This video shows the laboratory analysis procedure for "In Vitro Gas Production". This method allows estimation of the digestibility and metabolizable energy (ME) content of ruminant feedstuffs. The amount of gas released during incubation of feedstuffs is closely related to digestibility and therefore the ruminant ME value.

Silage DNA Extraction Protocol

This video shows the laboratory analysis procedure for "Silage DNA Extraction".
