Three ruminally fistulated sheep were used in a randomized complete design. Cumulative gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of incubation. Canola and safflower seeds were treated with 0.7g formalin 37%. The gas production kinetics was described using the equation: G = A (1-e-c (t-L)-d ( - )). Formaldehyde treatment had significant effects on gas production kinetics. Formaldehyde treatment reduced total gas production (a), and organic matter digestibility (OMD).
