    abstract = {This trial was conducted to determine the effect of high steam (180-210 &deg;C, 3 min) and sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) on fermentative activity and nutritive value of sugarcane pith by <I>in vitro</I> gas production. Experimental samples were including; untreated sugarcane pith, treated with high steam, treated with 50 g kg <SUP>-1</SUP> DM NaOH and treated with steam + NaOH. The results showed sugarcane pith treated with steam + NaOH have the highest potential gas production (B) (143.5 mL). High steam and NaOH caused to increase <I>in vitro</I> cell wall degradation, Organic Matter Digestibility (OMD), Metabolisable Energy (ME) and Short Chain Fatty Acid (SCFA) of sugarcane pith and the highest was for sugarcane pith treated with steam+NaOH (87%, 703.26 g kg <SUP>-1</SUP> OM, 10.03 MJ kg <SUP>-1</SUP> DM and 0.96 &#956;mol L <SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively). Therefore, it appears that the degradability and nutritive value of sugarcane pith are influenced by high steam and NaOH.}
