The aim of the current experiment was to determine the effect of nylon bag type of alfalfa hay on in vitro gas production and methane production. Alfalfa hay was incubated within nylon bags with or directly dispersedly in buffered rumen fluid for 24 h incubation. The type of incubation of samples had a significant effect on the in vitro gas and methane production. The incubating of feed samples within nylon bags reduced not only gas production but also methane production. However the pore size has no significant effect on the gas and methane production. Therefore incubating of feed samples within nylon bags is not appropriate when measuring methane emission during 24 h of incubation.
