The parameters studied were in vitro Gas Production (IVGP), methane production, ammonia (NH3-N) concentration, in vitro Organic Matter Degradability (IVOMDe), Partitioning Factor (PF) (the ratio of substrate truly degraded to gas volume produced at 24 h of incubation) and total Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs) concentration. The correlation of methane gas with total protozoa population and three subfamilies of Entodiniinae, Ophryscolecinae, Diplodiniinae and family of Isotrichdae, also, were studied.
