Effect of silage source, physically effective neutral detergent fiber, and undigested neutral detergent fiber concentrations on performance and carcass characteristics of finishing steers. [PDF]
Transl Anim Sci, 2021 Abstract This study was designed to evaluate the effect of silage source (barley vs. wheat silage) when harvested at two chop lengths (low vs. high physically effective neutral detergent fiber [peNDF]) and when barley silage was partially replaced with straw to increase the undigested neutral detergent fiber (uNDF) concentration on ...

Influence of Fermentation Methods on Neutral Detergent Fiber Degradation Parameters [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2008 The effect of 3 fermentation methods, in situ (IS) in 4 lactating cows (average pH of 5.8), in vitro (IVn) with media pH of 6.8, or in vitro (IVa) with media pH adjusted to 6.0 using citric acid, on fiber degradation parameters was studied using feeds ground to different particle sizes.

Effect of drought stress on neutral detergent fiber degradation kinetics of corn for silage. [PDF]
JDS Commun, 2023 The objective of this study was to determine the effect of irrigation on in situ neutral detergent fiber (NDF) degradability of corn tissues from plants grown under controlled conditions in a greenhouse. Five commercial corn hybrids were planted in 6 pots that were placed in a greenhouse.

Meta-analytical study of the effect of fibers in neutral detergent and acidic detergent in the diet of finishing pigs [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2022 ABSTRACT: Performance and carcass traits of finishing pigs fed diets containing different levels of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were evaluated through meta-analysis. The database was constructed using information from 24 papers, 113 treatments, and 2507 animals. Correlation and variance analyze were performed.

Characteristics of neutral detergent-soluble fiber fermentation by mixed ruminal microbes
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1998 Abstract A new method for determining neutral detergent-soluble fiber (NDSF) estimates the non-starch polysaccharide present in 90% ethanol-insoluble residue (EIR) but absent from neutral detergent residue (NDF). Unextracted feeds, EIR and NDF of feeds high in pectic substances were fermented in vitro with mixed ruminal microbes and gas production ...

Journal of Dairy Science, 1997 Four lactating dairy cows that were ruminally and duodenally cannulated were used in an experiment with a 4 x 4 Latin square design to determine the effects of the substitution of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) from forage with NDF from wheat middlings, corn gluten feed, or a blend of distillers dried grains and hominy.

Variation in Neutral Detergent Fiber Intake of Holstein Cows
Journal of Dairy Science, 1993 Abstract Published data representing 1284 Holstein cows over 149 treatment periods were used to evaluate alternative methods of predicting DMI. Stepwise multiple regression analyses of ration and cow characteristics against DMI and NDF intake were used (regression set) to develop DMI prediction equations and to test against DMI models (test set ...

Ruminal in situ degradability of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber of sugarcane silage
Tropical Grasslands - Forrajes Tropicales, 2014 The ruminal degradability of dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) of 9 sugarcane varieties ensiled 15 months after planting was evaluated, using 3 fistulated Holstein x Zebu cows and incubation periods of 0, 6, 12, 24, 72 and 96 h in a randomized complete block design.
