Background: There is a comprehensive understanding of the role of dietary fiber as a nutrient and its function during digestion in cattle. On the other hand, the role of fiber digestion in goats has not received similar attention.

Effect of silage source, physically effective neutral detergent fiber, and undigested neutral detergent fiber concentrations on performance and carcass characteristics of finishing steers. [PDF]
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]
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.

Variation in Neutral Detergent Fiber Intake of Holstein Cows
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 ...

Intake and milk production of cows fed diets that differed in dietary neutral detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber digestibility [PDF]
The objectives of this study were to determine how feeding diets that differed in dietary neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentration and in vitro NDF digestibility affects dry matter (DM) intake, ruminal fermentation, and milk production in early lactation dairy cows.

Effect of Partial Replacement of Forage Neutral Detergent Fiber with By-Product Neutral Detergent Fiber in Close-Up Diets on Periparturient Performance of Dairy Cows [PDF]
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of partial replacement of forage neutral detergent fiber (NDF) with by-product NDF in close-up diets of dairy cattle on periparturient metabolism and performance. Holstein cows (n = 45) and heifers (n = 19) were fed corn silage-based diets containing 1) 30% oat hay, or 2) 15% oat hay and 15% beet ...

Characteristics of neutral detergent-soluble fiber fermentation by mixed ruminal microbes
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 ...
