Production and nutritional composition of two annual ryegrass cultivars (Diploid and Tetraploid) [PDF]
The feed cost represents the major cost in milk production. Direct grazing and forage produced on the dairy farm could allow the farmer to a better feed production cost control. Ryegrass have been extensively used for grazing and forage production.

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.

Ruminal degradability of neutral detergent fiber of Cynodon spp. grasses at four regrowth ages
The aim of this work was to determine ruminal degradation of neutral detergent fiber of grasses of the genus Cynodon, harvested at four cutting ages. It was used a randomized block design, with five treatments arranged in a split plot, the five evaluated

Effects of dietary brown propolis on nutrient intake and digestibility in feedlot lambs
The present study tested brown propolis in crude or extract form as a feed supplement for feedlot lambs to identify the type that most improves in vivo nutrient digestibility. Digestibility was assessed by both total fecal collection and internal markers

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 ...
