Abstract :In this study was evaluated in-vitro true dry matter (DM) digestibility of 8 different feedstuffs by using in vitro system. Eight different feeds were grouped as roughage and concentrate and tested by using Buffalo, cow and sheep inoculums.. The experiment was replicated on three different timelines for all feeds and the three inoculum sources. The incubation time for the digestibility was 48 hours for each species inoculum. In the study, rumen fluids from different animals did not have a significant effect on the in vitro true? dry matter (DM) digestibility of different feedstuffs during the 48-hour incubation period (P>0.05). The pellet wheat bran showed the lowest mean value in sheep among all feedstuffs. It was concluded that the daisy incubator method could be used to predict the true digestibility of different feedstuffs in different species animals.
