1' INTRODUCTIO?4
Thc: digestion stud21 is ;In iii1portan.t
stGp in thz proccss
.
of nutritive velue evaluatior: of feedstuffs.
Cheinical antilÿsis dcteri2ines thz quantity of nutrïclnts in
the fvedstuffs: but doesïnt Givi-" înforml:ti.ons about their avai-,
lability.
In vitro techniques are casier and less expensivc than in
vivo ai?d in sltu methods f but thcy don't rcally reflect the
digestive utilisation of fcedstuffs.
The nylon bag method is a technique for measurement of thé
kinetic of in situ nutrients
degradation in the rumenti
It gives informations about potentfally degradable fraction
of nutrients 2nd itFs degradation rate.
This niethod cari evaluate the availabîlfty of nutricnts and
completc bromatological analysis=
Sfnce the initial sîlk 'b;?g of Quin et nl in 1938, many
methodolo{;îcal
studfes about nylon bag have becn c~~rried out
(RODRIG~JIG 1968, CRENOST 1970, >WiRI-;Z et al, 1977, KEXPTON 1980;
UDEN and VAN SOEST 1984, SAUVANT et al. 1981;). Many rcscarch
tcainshavc împroved thc accuracy of the technîque.
Efforts of standnrdfzation a.nd comparision wfth rclated
methods are contlnufng.
Howv~p, ;A lîtter%turc ruvîew shows a great variety of mite-.,
rie1 used and experimental procedure from a laboratorie to ano,~
ther (sec table l),
The afm of this mcthological study is to adjust thc nylon
bag technique in our labor%torîe
nnd to check differents factors
of variation,
