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

Limitaciones físicas y químicas de la digestibilidad de pastos tropicales y estrategias para aumentarla
TL;DR: The discussion in this paper relates to voluntary intake by grazing ruminants, the factors that affect it and practical methods to increase intake in grazing or high-fiber consuming ruminants and includes comments on practical ways to increase rumen fiber degradability.

Dietary Fibre Analysis
TL;DR: Whichever definition is used for dietary fibre the major components are polysaccharides and the classification of these carbohydrates in foods provides the background for the analytical strategies.

A new organic matter fractionation methodology for organic wastes: Bioaccessibility and complexity characterization for treatment optimization
Julie Jimenez,Quentin Aemig,Nicolas Doussiet,Jean-Philippe Steyer,Sabine Houot,Dominique Patureau +5 more
TL;DR: This new fractionation methodology was proposed to unify the characterization of a wide range of organic wastes by merging the two previously mentioned protocols to simulate bioaccessibility combined with 3D fluorescence spectroscopy to highlight the complexity of the extracted organic fractions.
