Effect of Hybrid Type on Fermentation and Nutritional Parameters of Whole Plant Corn Silage
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of hybrid type on the fermentation and nutritional parameters of whole-plant corn silage (dual-purpose and silage-specific corn). For this purpose, the two corn hybrid types were harvested at the one-half to

Ruminal in situ degradability of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber of sugarcane silage
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.

Comparison of alternative neutral detergent fiber methods to the AOAC definitive method
Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) is the most commonly reported metric for fiber in dairy cattle nutrition. An empirical method, NDF is defined by the procedure used to measure it. The current definitive method for NDF treated with amylase (aNDF) is AOAC Official Method 2002.04 performed on dried samples ground through the 1-mm screen of a cutting mill ...

Modification of the Neutral Detergent Fiber Procedure for Hays
Abstract Eight hays (two each of alfalfa, bahiagrass, bermudagrass, and digitgrass) were used in three experiments to evaluate effects on neutral detergent fiber of 1) eliminating sodium sulfite and decalin from the refluxing reagent, 2) replacing sintered glass crucibles during filtration with Gooch crucibles containing glass wool mats, and 3 ...

Replacement of Alfalfa Neutral Detergent Fiber with a Combination of Nonforage Fiber Sources
Sixteen Holstein cows in midlactation were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square design to determine the effect of replacing alfalfa neutral detergent fiber (NDF), with NDF from a combination of whole linted cottonseed, dried distillers grains, and wheat middlings.

Response to dietary tannin challenges in view of the browser/grazer dichotomy in an Ethiopian setting : Bonga sheep versus Kaffa goats [PDF]
It has been suggested that goats (typical browser) are better adapted to digest tannin-rich diets than sheep (typical grazer). To evaluate this, Bonga sheep and Kaffa goats were used in a 2x3 randomized crossover design with two species, three diets, and
