Estimation of indigestible neutral detergent fiber in forages from cell wall components
… The first three components are measured as neutral detergent fibre (NDF). The NDF is either slowly digestible or indigestible (iNDF). Even if indigestible iNDF is unavailable to microbes, it is a critical component affecting the nutritional value of feeds. Organic matter digestibility is …

Inclusion of wet corn gluten feed with physically effective neutral detergent fiber and the resulting effects on production
Wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) is commonly included in lactation rations for dairy cattle. Research at Kansas State University has shown that increasing WCGF inclusion decreased ruminal pH. Lack of adequate particle size may result in this decrease and can impact efficiencies, animal health and …

Effect of varying levels of neutral detergent fiber and total digestible nutrients on dry matter intake of dairy heifers
One hundred and eight Holstein dairy heifers were divided into two weight blocks based on beginning body weight (E = < 182 kg, light, > 270 kg, heavy). Heifers within weight blocks were randomly assigned to one of five treatments. Treatments consisted of three levels of NDF (35%, 45%, 55%) at 100% …

Seasonal differences in apparent digestibilities of fescue and orchardgrass/clover pastures by horses
… marker procedure was used with indigestible neutral detergent fiber (INDF) and Yb as internal and external markers, respectively. Apparent digestibility of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were determined. Digestibility of …

IN-DEPTH STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROTEIN MOLECULAR STRUCTURE AND THE DIGESTIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROTEINS IN DRIED DISTILLERS GRAINS WITH SOLUBLES
… (P<0.01) in crude protein (31.5 vs. 13.3%), neutral detergent fiber (40.3 vs. 13.5%) and ether extract (6.5 vs. 1.5%) than triticale. There are significant differences in the protein and carbohydrate subfractions (P<0.05) and the ruminal degradability of dry matter (P<0.01), crude protein …

The Utilization of Dietary Fiber and Its Effects on The Utilization of Other Dietary Components by Swine
The utilization of dietary fiber and its effects on the utilization of dietary dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemicellulose (H) and digestible energy (DE) by growing swine. For weanling pigs, fecal N excretion was increased and N retention …

Cytology, Mode of Reproduction, and Forage Quality of Selected Species of Brachiaria Griseb. (Chromosome Numbers, Fiber Structure, Pachytene Analysis, Apomixis)
… Brachiaria ruziziensis had the lowest neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, cellulose, and hemicellulose concentrations and the highest digestibility values of all species studied for both leaf and stem fractions. The effect of induced polyploidy on cell-wall components, …

Effects of nitrogen and cutting management on root growth and productivity of a Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) pasture
… was analyzed for yield, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber. Root samples were divided into three depths: 0.0--5.1, 5.1--10.2 and 10.2--20.3 cm, and analyzed for volume, dry weight and length. Soil NO3- was measured. At the 2.5 cm cut yield and fiber …

Forage Quality of "Matua" Prairie Grass
… The nutritive content as crude protein(CP), acid detergent fiber(ADF), neutral detergent fiber(NDF) and relative feed value(RFV) were determined by analysis with the Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectrophotometer(NIRS). Matua and the other Bromus species were very comparable to the tall fescue and …

Methods of preserving and enhancing fermentation and nutritional value of caged layer waste-wheat straw silages fed to sheep
… of organic matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber were lower (P<.05) for the diet containing silage made from untreated waste, compared to diets containing silage made from treated waste. In all studies, putrefaction, maggot infestation and dark color were observed for …

Fishmeal substituted for soybean meal fed at two TDN levels for lactating dairy cows
… in the higher TDN diets decreased both acid and neutral detergent fiber, and increased dry matter content. Nitrogen degradability was lower in the higher TDN rations and decreased with increasing fishmeal levels. Dry matter degradability tended to be similar for all diets. Milk and FCM production …

Seasonal differences in apparent digestibility and intake of tall fescue by horses
… digestibilities of dry matter (DM), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), crude protein (CP), and cellulose were estimated using indigestible NDF as an internal marker. Forage DM intake was calculated using the formula (fecal output/(100- % forage DM digestibility) x …

The nutritonal ecology of meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) under differing environmental conditions
The simultaneous effects of dietary fiber, temperature, and daylength on the gastrointestinal morphology and physiology in meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) were investigated. Voles were randomly divided (10 in each group) and placed in 15-day treatment regimes [cold (5 C) and warm (21 C), …

Digestibility of Foods and Anthropogenic Feeding of Black Bears in Virginia
… gross energy. Diets we suspected were high in fiber were additionally evaluated for neutral detergent fiber or acid detergent fiber content and digestibility. Feeding trials were conducted with 1 male and 4 female captive bears during fall 1998, and 5 female captive bears during fall 1999, at …
