Gas Endeavour® was used as an automated gas measuring system for conducting in-vitro digestibility study for feed additives in ruminal fermentation. The instrument allows simultaneously simulating and continuously monitoring the physiological rumen movements in 15 testing flasks using a substrate quantity 2-8 g dry sample or about 20 grams of fresh forage, depending on the intrinsic characteristics of each substrate.
