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 Particulate Organic Matter in Phosphorus Cycling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of soil fungi in the process of decomposition of sorghum residues and determined the contribution of P immobilization in explaining differences in soil P availability from plant residues in two weathered soils.

Effect of substitution of sugarbeet pulp for barley in diets for finishing rabbits on growth performance and on energy and nitrogen efficiency.
TL;DR: It is indicated that SBP can replace 15% of barley grain without decreasing growth performance, although energy and nitrogen efficiencies were impaired by 5%.

Performance and nutrient digestibility in weanling pigs as influenced by yeast culture additions to starter diets containing dried whey or one of two fiber sources.
TL;DR: Three experiments were conducted using crossbred weanling pigs to determine the effect on performance and nutrient digestibility of .75% yeast culture additions to starter diets containing whey or one of two fiber sources.

Prevalence of Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli stx1, stx2, eaeA, and rfbE Genes and Survival of E. coli O157:H7 in Manure from Organic and Low-Input Conventional Dairy Farms
TL;DR: Manure samples were collected from 16 organic (ORG) and 9 low-input conventional (LIC) Dutch dairy farms during August and September 2004 to determine the prevalence of the STEC virulence genes stx1, stx2, and eaeA, as well as the rfbE gene, which is specific for Escherichia coli O157.
