In this study, the organic matter digestibility (OMD) of six complete diets for ruminants has been determined in-vivo in trials with sheep and in-vitro using two-stage Tilley and Terry (T and T) method, gas production (GP) technique and multi-enzyme incubation (EDOM) procedures. The results of this study showed that the OMD of complete diets for ruminants can be successfully determined, and in-vivo values predicted, using multi-enzyme incubation procedure, which is important because of the fact that rumen liquor, needed for the in-vitro two stage T and T and GP techniques is not always available to analytical laboratories.
