Popis:	Methane production and energy loss of 12 green forages were investigated in vitro in a completely randomized design using inoculum from buffaloes. The forages, which included Hordeum vulgare, Avena sativa, Trifolium alaxendrinum, Medicago sativa cv. Anand-2, Medicago sativa cv. T-9, Pennisetum purpureum, Panicum maximum, Saccharum officinarum (SOT), Arachis hypogea (AHL), Grewia optiva leaves (GOL), Leucaena leucocephala leaves and Sorghum bicolor were also partitioned into crude protein (CP) and carbohydrate (CHO) fractions using the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System. In vitro gas production and dry matter (DM) digestibility were estimated using rumen fluid from 2 fistulated buffaloes. Correlation analysis was used to establish relationships between measured variables and CH4 production. Crude protein contents of the forages were lowest (P
