Rapid Prediction of Acid Detergent Fiber, Neutral Detergent Fiber, and Acid Detergent Lignin of Rice Materials by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2005
A rapid predictive method based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was developed to measure acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and acid detergent lignin (ADL) of rice stem materials. A total of 207 samples were divided into two subsets, one subset (approximately 136 samples) for calibration and cross-validation and the other ...

Models for estimating parameters of neutral detergent fiber digestion by ruminal microorganisms

Journal of Animal Science, 2005
Model assumptions included number of concurrently degrading entities (or pools) and expected distributions of undegraded NDF. Degradation processes modeled included a single pool with ruminal age-constant rates (exponential distribution), a single pool with a ruminal age-dependent rate, two pools with age-constant rates, two pools with age-dependent ...

On the specificity of different methods for neutral detergent fiber and related problems

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2018
Abstract We compared alternative methods for analyzing Neutral Detergent Fiber with the reference AOAC 2002.04 method for specificity. We reported the chemical composition of major nutrients for the matrixes of 19 feeds and one non-feed (sawdust). Two independent matrixes were from animal origin: meat and bone meal, and milk powder.

BIDIRECTIONAL SELECTION FOR NEUTRAL DETERGENT FIBER AND YIELD IN REED CANARYGRASS

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1988
Increasing animal voluntary intake and forage yield are two important goals in breeding reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.). The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of one cycle of selection for both the concentration of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and yield in reed canarygrass.

Preharvest Neutral Detergent Fiber Concentration of Alfalfa as Influenced by Stubble Height [PDF]

Agronomy Journal, 2009
Regression equations can be used to estimate the preharvest neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentration of alfalfa. In New York, where the stubble height of alfalfa varies due to terrain, predictive accuracy of existing equations may be reduced. The objectives of this experiment were to develop and evaluate alfalfa NDF equations that incorporate ...

Marker‐Assisted Selection for Neutral Detergent Fiber in Smooth Bromegrass

Crop Science, 2006
Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) is the most effective and measurable predictor of animal intake. About 70% of the variation in animal production is attributed to differences in intake potential of livestock feed. Sixteen molecular markers associated with NDF in four divergently selected smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis L.) populations were selected from

Evaluation of Laboratory Procedures to Quantify the Neutral Detergent Fiber Content in Forage, Concentrate, and Ruminant Feces.

Journal of AOAC International, 2015
A comparison was made of measurements of neutral detergent fiber concentrations obtained with AOAC Method 2002.04 and modified methods using pressurized environments or direct use of industrial heat-stable α-amylase in samples of forage (n=37 ...

Effects of Neutral Detergent Fiber from Blackgram (Phaseolus mungo) in Rats and Rabbits

The Journal of Nutrition, 1989
The hypocholesterolemic action of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) from blackgram (Phaseolus mungo) in rats may be due to hemicellulose, since removal of hemicellulose resulted in the loss of cholesterol-lowering action. Blackgram NDF showed different binding affinities for different bile acids, with maximum binding observed with chenodeoxycholic acid ...

A RAPID MICRO-DIGESTION PROCEDURE FOR NEUTRAL AND ACID DETERGENT FIBER

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1971
A micro-digestion procedure for the determination of neutral (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) employing 0.35 g of sample was developed. Four roughages and corn grain were digested by the standard Van Soest macro acid and neutral detergent fiber methods, and by the micro method.
