Abstract : An inclusive measurement of the average multiplicity of $b \bar b$ pairs from gluons, \gb, in hadronic $Z^0$ events collected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP, is presented. A counting technique, based on jet $b$-tagging in 4-jet events, has been used. Looking for secondary bottom production in events with production of any primary flavour, by requiring two $b$-tagged jets in well defined topological configurations, gave gb = 0.21 \pm 0.11stat \pm 0.09 syst \%. This result was checked with a different method designed to select events with four $b$ quarks in the final state. Agreement within the errors was found.
