Popis: Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of supplementing low quality tall fescue hay, containing 0.26% total sulfur, with an iso-sulfurous quantity of either sodium sulfate or D,L-methionine. In vitro experiments were carried out where rumen fluid was collected from sheep fed a similar low quality tall fescue hay. In experiment 1, the addition of 1% urea to the low quality fescue ration stimulated in vitro cellulose digestion (P
