Short communication: Evaluation of acid-insoluble ash and indigestible neutral detergent fiber as total-tract digestibility markers in dairy cows fed corn silage-based diets [PDF]
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate acid-insoluble ash (AIA) and indigestible NDF (iNDF) as intrinsic digestibility markers in comparison with total fecal collection (TC) in dairy cows fed corn silage- and alfalfa haylage-based diets. The experiment was part of a larger experiment, which involved 8 Holstein cows [102±28.4 d in milk, 26.4±0.

Ash-Free Indigestible Acid Detergent Fiber as an Internal Marker to Estimate Digestibility with Grazing Ruminants [PDF]
Two experiments with wethers and one with steers were conducted to compare extraction methods of ash-free indigestible acid detergent fiber (IADF) from feed, and to determine variation across days in fecal IADF content. In trial I, 4 wethers were fed 4 maturities of intermediate wheatgrass (Agropyron inm (2) pepsin-HCI digestion then a 96hour in vitro ...

Determination and prediction of standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of wheat for pullets during the brooding and growing phases. [PDF]
Wheat serves as a major alternative to corn in layer diets. However, the assessment and predictive models for standardized ileal digestibility of amino acids (SIDAA) from wheat in pullets have not yet been fully established, limiting precision ...

Effects of dietary brown propolis on nutrient intake and digestibility in feedlot lambs
The present study tested brown propolis in crude or extract form as a feed supplement for feedlot lambs to identify the type that most improves in vivo nutrient digestibility. Digestibility was assessed by both total fecal collection and internal markers
