In‐vitro experiments have indicated that the soluble lignin‐carbohydrate complex (LCC) produced in the bovine rumen is not significantly affected by further digestion in the rumen after passing into solution. The LCC has been shown to precipitate at the low pH of the abomasum and is present in the solid fraction of the faeces. It is concluded that digestion of the LCC is not likely to be significant after it passes from the rumen.
