Brown Mid-Rib Corn Variety Trial [PDF]

, 2013
Brown mid-rib (BMR) corn has a lower lignin content than other silage corn varieties. The lower lignin content increases the fiber digestibility (NDF digestibility) of the corn silage. Increases in NDF digestibility lead to increased in dry matter intake,

Methods for Dietary Fiber, Neutral Detergent Fiber, and Nonstarch Polysaccharides in Relation to Animal Nutrition

Journal of Dairy Science, 1991
There is a need to standardize the NDF procedure. Procedures have varied because of the use of different amylases in attempts to remove starch interference. The original Bacillus subtilis enzyme Type IIIA (XIA) no longer is available and has been replaced by a less effective enzyme. For fiber work, a new enzyme has received AOAC approval and is rapidly

Feeding Management of African Rhinos (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis) in European Zoos

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
The average estimated diets (in % dry matter) of white rhinos (C. simum) and black rhinos (D. bicornis) in European zoos differ in the proportion of (pelleted) compound feed and other non‐forage items. The reason for this difference is elusive but possibly related to creating more complicated diets for browsers. ABSTRACT White rhinos (WR, Ceratotherium

Forage Brassica Variety Trial [PDF]

, 2013
Forage brassica can provide a near-concentrate type diet late in the grazing season. This allows for an extra grazing opportunity after annual row crops are harvested, and establishes forage to fill a gap in feed quality and supply.

Inconsistent Differences Between Neutral Detergent Fiber and Total Dietary Fiber Values of Fruits and Vegetables

Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 1986
Abstract A large number of fruits and vegetables were analyzed to determine levels of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and total dietary fiber (TDF). The results showed that the TDF method is more precise than the NDF method. Further, the NDF values are significantly higher than the TDF values for apples and for miscellaneous fruits and ...

The effect of seawater hardness on cotton fabric dyeing using reactive blue dye

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Oceans are an abundant source of water; their economic potential has not yet been fully exploited. In this context, the current study aims to apply seawater in the dyeing of cotton fabrics, evaluating the influence that total hardness has on the process results.

Ruminal degradation of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber of banana peel treated with limestone

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2016
This study aimed to evaluate the kinetics of dry matter degradation and neutral detergent fiber of banana peel treated with limestone. The banana peel has been acquired from a candy manufacturer that after washing with chlorinated water to 1% and pulp ...

Prediction of organic acid concentration in BRS Capiaçu elephant grass silage

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aimed to develop prediction models for organic acid concentrations in Capiaçu grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) silage, based on fermentation parameters and chemical composition. Data were obtained from an experiment that evaluated BRS (Brazil Seeds) Capiaçu grass silage with the inclusion of dehydrated cashew pseudofruit ...

Summer Annual Variety Trial [PDF]

, 2014
Warm season grasses, such as sorghum x sudangrass crosses, sudangrass, millets, and teff are high-yielding summer annuals that can provide quality forage in the hot summer months, when cool season grasses are not as productive.
