RESUMO

The in vitro digestibility either dry matter or cell wall of different vegetable samples arranged in three groups: forages, wood or bamboos was correlated with lignin concentration determined through three analytical methods. The employed methods were: acid detergent lignin (ADL), Klason lignin (KL) and potassium permanganate lignin (PerL). Lignin concentrations were different among the methods for the same samples, generally larger for KL and PerL. For almost all samples, lignin concentration was negatively correlated with in vitro digestibility of dry matter and cell wall. ADL method predicted digestibility of grasses and bamboos reasonably well, followed by PerL. KL content was not a good predictor of grass digestibility. Concerning woods, none of the three methods was a good predictor of digestibilty, even the KL method, traditionally used for wood. It is concluded that none of the three methods was totally satisfactory, suggesting that analytical determination of lignin needs more research effort.
