The gas production method is a laboratory technique that measures the amount of fermentation gases produced from incubating animal feedstuffs with microbes from ruminal fluid or fecal samples. It is faster and cheaper than evaluating feedstuffs using animal trials. Models may be applied to the gas production profiles generated in order to rank feedstuffs or to determine the extent of feedstuff digestion either in the rumen or in the hindgut. Typical gas production profiles show a monotonically increasing monophasic pattern.
