Samples of faeces were collected monthly for 3 and 2 times respectively from 12 lactating and 12 dry buffalo cows. The samples, evaluated for faecal scoring (Faecal Consistency, FC and Undigested Fractions, UF), were used as inocula (dilution 1:2 with anaerobic medium) to determine in vitro digestib...
