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

Kinetics of fiber digestion from in vitro gas production

Journal of Animal Science, 1994
In vitro gas production, measured by computer-interfaced pressure sensors, was used to follow the digestion of a crystalline processed cellulose, a bacterial cellulose, and mixtures of these substrates by mixed ruminal bacteria. A first-order, substrate limited model (simple exponential with lag) and two bacterial growth models (logistic, Gompertz ...

Assessments of lung digestion methods for recovery of fibers

Environmental Research, 1991
Evaluation of the pulmonary hazards associated with exposure to fibrous materials tends to be more complicated than assessments required for particulate materials. Fibers are defined by aspect ratios and it is generally considered that physical dimensions play an important role in the pathogenesis of fiber-related lung diseases.

Co-product fiber digestibility: kinetic and in vivo assessment

Journal of Animal Science, 1994
Nutrient digestion and kinetic characteristics of alfalfa hay, brewers grains, beet pulp, and cottonseed hulls were studied in two experiments. In the first experiment, these feedstuffs were fed with a mineral/vitamin supplement in a 4 x 4 Latin square to eight ewes to determine total tract digestibilities by 8-d total collection and rates of passage ...
