Prediction of in vivo neutral detergent fiber digestibility and digestion rate of potentially digestible neutral detergent fiber: Comparison of models

Journal of Animal Science, 2008
Eleven 1-pool, seven 2-pool, and three 3-pool models were compared in fitting gas production data and predicting in vivo NDF digestibility and effective first-order digestion rate of potentially digestible NDF (pdNDF). Isolated NDF from 15 grass silages harvested at different stages of maturity was incubated in triplicate in rumen fluid-buffer solution

Dietary fiber and digestive health in children

Nutrition Reviews, 2017
Digestive health is an expanding area in nutrition research due to the interest in how food components such as fiber affect gastrointestinal tolerance, stool form, defecation frequency, transit time, and gut microbial composition and metabolic activity.

Digestion of cellulose fibers in the digestive tract of wild ruminants

Doklady Biological Sciences, 2011
370 For specialized phytophagous mammals, the grinding of plant food with teeth is one of the most important conditions of its efficient digestion. Thor ough grinding (or remastication of cud, rumination) ensures a many times higher availability of structural carbohydrates, which are abundant in vegetable food, for their fermentation by symbionts, and

Effect of intestinal microflora on digestible energy and fiber digestion in chickens fed a high-fiber diet

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1991
Summary The effect of intestinal microflora on digestible energy (de) value and fiber digestion was studied in single-comb White Leghorn chickens fed a low-fiber diet (experiment 1) or a high-fiber diet with low or adequate metabolizable energy (me) value (experiment 2).

FIBER DIGESTIBILITY IN ROYAL ANTELOPE (NEOTRAGUS PYGMAEUS)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2014
Royal antelope (Neotragus pygmaeus) are among the smallest ungulate species and are browsing ruminants. To date, their capacities for fiber fermentation and nutrient digestion have not been quantified. This study compared apparent digestibilities of a typical high-fiber herbivore pellet (ADF 25) and a low-starch, high-fiber diet (WHP) in royal antelope

FIBER DIGESTIBILITY BY BLACK LEMURS (EULEMUR MACACO MACACO)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2005
Black lemurs, Eulemur macaco, are classified as generalist feeders, consuming a proportion of fruits and leaves that varies with seasonal availability. It is hypothesized that black lemurs are capable of using neutral detergent fiber (NDF) as a source of energy through fiber fermentation in the cecum and large intestine.

Evaluating Constraints on Fiber Digestion by Rumen Microbes

The Journal of Nutrition, 1988
Factors affecting fiber digestion in ruminants were evaluated with the use of simple mathematical models. These models were constructed to define the dynamic processes involved so that constraints on fiber digestion may be elucidated. The fraction of fiber that is resistant to digestion and the rate of digestion and passage of potentially fermentable ...

Fiber‐packed channel bioreactor for microfluidic protein digestion

PROTEOMICS, 2007
AbstractThe fabrication and performance of a fiber‐packed channel bioreactor in microchip along with its application in protein analysis were reported. The feasibility and performance of the unique microfluidic bioreactor were demonstrated by the tryptic digestion of myoglobin (MYO) and BSA.

Digestibility of dietary fiber components in vegetarian men

Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 1995
Digestibility of fiber components namely neutral detergent fiber (total content of cellwall) cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are estimated in 14 healthy vegetarian men during adlibitum feeding and at 3 energy levels namely 2526, 2868 and 3290 kcals/day. Values of digestibility for adlibitum experiments were 34.17 +/- 2.3 for neutral detergent fiber
