It has been shown in the past that in vitro digestibility of forage crops could be accurately predicted by the acetyl bromide absorption technique. This note demonstrates that in vivo digestibility values can be accurately predicted by this method and that in this respect the method is comparable in accuracy with the in vitro digestibility technique.
