Use of Detergents in the Analysis of Fibrous Feeds. II. A Rapid Method for the Determination of Fiber and Lignin
TLDR
The acid-detergent fiber method (ADF) as mentioned in this paper is a fiber method based on cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution.Abstract:
The capacity of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to dissolve proteins in acid solution has been utilized in development of a method, called acid-detergent fiber method (ADF), which is not only a fiber determination in itself bnt also the major preparatory step in the determination of lignin. The entire procedure for determining fiber and lignin is considerably more rapid than presently published methods. Compositional studies show ADF to consist chiefly of lignin and polysaccharides. Correlations with the new fiber method and digestibility of 18 forages (r = —0.79) showed it to be somewhat superior to crude fiber (r = —0.73) in estimating nutritive valué. The correla-read more

The role of rice husk biochar addition in anaerobic digestion for sweet sorghum under high loading condition.
TL;DR: Rick husk biochar addition mitigated the pH decrease during high load sorghum AD and reduced the peak total VFA by 375 mg/L at F/M ratio of 1.2.

Maize Residue Interaction with High Quality Organic Materials: Effects on Decomposition and Nutrient Release Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the biomass qualities of Zea mays, Tithonia diversifolia and Vicia faba and evaluated whether delayed decomposition and nutrient release of low quality residues will improve when mixed with high quality residues.

TL;DR: In this article, a multibiome litter experiment covering most of the global variation in leaf trait spectra was conducted, and three dimensions of functional diversity (dispersion, rarity, and evenness) explained up to 66% of variations in multifunctionality.

Factors affecting the variability of an in vitro rumen fermentation technique for estimating forage quality.
TL;DR: Alfalfa, bahiagrass, bermudagrasses, and ryegrass hays, and corn silage were fed to three fistulated donor animals and also used as substrates in several in vitro digestion trials as mentioned in this paper.

Effect of diet composition on the production of rabbit breeding does housed in a traditional building and at 30°C
TL;DR: Feed intake and performance of does and litters were reduced in the 30°C environment and the effect of the diets for the last 2 weeks of lactation was different in the TB from that at30°C.
