Abstract: Based on highly referenced published papers and dissertations (357), 67 literatures that were representative and with more complete information on feed nutritional value were selected. The results from these literatures were retrieved and categorized. The representative data on the chemical composition, rumen effective degradability, and small intestinal digestibility of ruminant feedstuff in China were listed in the review. Additionally, in order to provide useful references for researchers and producers in this field, current problems in determination of nutritive value of feedstuff in ruminants were also discussed and some suggestions to solve these problems were given.
