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

TL;DR: The CowPI data coupled with the FTIR plant chemistry data suggest that attached bacterial function is similar irrespective of forage type, with the main changes occurring between primary and secondary colonization.

Effect of instant controlled pressure drop pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes on enzymatic saccharification and ethanol production
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use of Eucalyptus chips and Aleppo pine cones as feedstock for ethanol fuel production and evaluated the effects of processing parameters on the feedstock's pretreatment efficacy and thus on the ethanol production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify nutrient removal, carbohydrate composition, theoretical ethanol yield (TEY) for various stover fractions and show that harvesting only above-ear stover fraction would reduce nutrient removal by 24-61% compared to harvesting all stover biomass.

The effect of level and source of protein, fibre and fat in the diet on the energy value of compounded pig feeds
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of level and source of protein, fibre and fat in the diet on the energy value of compounded pig feeds was determined in growing pigs, and the DE values (MJ/kg DM) obtained were: fish meal, 19.1; oatfeed, 9.4; extracted rice bran, 11.3; sugar beet pulp, 12.7; tallow, 38.5; soya oil, 40.8.
