A net carbohydrate and protein system for evaluating cattle diets: II. Carbohydrate and protein availability.

TL;DR: The Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System has a submodel that predicts rates of feedstuff degradation in the rumen, the passage of undegraded feed to the lower gut, and the amount of ME and protein that is available to the animal.

A net carbohydrate and protein system for evaluating cattle diets: I. Ruminal fermentation.

TL;DR: The Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) has a kinetic submodel that predicts ruminal fermentation and the protein-sparing effect of ionophores is accommodated by decreasing the rate of peptide uptake by 34%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Creating a System for Meeting the Fiber Requirements of Dairy Cows

TL;DR: The system is based on NDF as the measure of total chemical fiber in feeds and Adjustments for the effectiveness of NDF in maintaining milk fat production and optimizing ruminal fermentation are based on the particle size and inherent characteristics ofNDF that affect chewing activity, ruminal pH, and milkfat production.

On the determination of crystallinity and cellulose content in plant fibres

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study of cellulose crystallinity based on the sample crystallinity and the cellulose content in plant fibres was performed for samples of different origin for strong acid hydrolysis was found superior to agricultural fibre analysis and comprehensive plant fibre analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitrogen fractions in selected feedstuffs

TL;DR: In this paper, Nitrogen in selected feedstuffs was fractionated based on solubility in mineral solvents and detergent solutions, and the results showed that Borate-phosphate buffer had a correlation coefficient of.92 with insoluble nitrogen obtained with autoclaved rumen fluid.
