Abstract
A stochastic model provided a better fit than did two deterministic, exponential models of in vitro digestion of fiber of varied size particles produced by ingestive mastication. Variations in rates of digestion within and among such varied size particles suggest rumen fiber digestion is a highly stochastic process.
