• Associative effects are largely ignored with in vitro or in situ digestibility measurements

Partial list of inherent flaws of rumen in vitro &in situ digestibility measures relative to in vivo
Donor/incubation cow diet ingredient/nutrient content & physical form versus client farm(s) e.g. Diet starch% & source affects amylase & cellulase activities;
Rumen pH & fluctuation; RDP; etc.
Ditto for DMI kd/(kd+kp) kp assumed; disagreement over use of kp of DM or nutrient and
determination methods for kp (markers or fill/flux)
DMI & diet influence rumen pH and hence kd
Fine grinding of incubation samples 1-2 mm screen for ivNDFD
Results in maximal rates and extents of NDF digestibility 4-6 mm for ivStarchD
Masks particle size effects on starch digestibility
Ignores post-ruminal NDF and starch digestion

For the most part, ruminal in vitro and in situ NDF digestibility measurements, should be viewed as relative index values for comparison among feeds/diets or over time within feeds/diets, rather than as predictors of in vivo digestibility

Utility of On-Farm Fecal Starch?
Can be used to predict total tract starch digestibility from available equation or using uNDF Monitor specific group over time
Reflects total diet, not specific feedstuffs!
Gives no indication of site of digestion
If <3% starch in feces no need to investigate feeds to improve starch digestion
If >3% should evaluate specific starchy feedstuffs
