  1. b, asymptotic gas production; k, the fractional rate of gas production; L, lag time; G24, 24 h net gas production; ME, metabolizable energy; IVOMD, in vitro organic matter digestibility; RS24, reducing sugar yield after 24 h of enzymatic hydrolysis. The data marked with different letters (a, b) in the same line indicate significant differences at P ≤ 0.0001
