14 Survey of websites and reports of 4 major US dairy feed labs for analyses related to NDF digestibility Traditional (Goering Van Soest) NDFD; Standardized (Combs Goeser) NDFD In vitro total tract NDFD (Combs-ivttNDFD) k d calculated from 24, 30, 48, 120-h NDFD (CG) NDF k d Mertens, MIR; NDF k d Van Amburgh 24-h NDFD; calculated B 2 /B 3 kd 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 120, 240-h NDFD lag, pools, rates 120-h undf, undf OM ; 240-h undf, undf OM 14
15 Survey of websites and reports of 4 major US dairy feed labs for analyses related to starch digestibility Starch; Prolamin; Ammonia; Particle Size; UW Feed Grain Evaluation; Corn Silage Processing Score 3-h, 7-h in vitro or in situ starch digestibility (ivrsd); k d Fecal Starch; Total Tract Starch Digestibility (TTSD) 15

17 Partial list of inherent flaws of rumen in vitro & in situ digestibility measures relative to in vivo Donor/incubation cow diet ingredient/nutrient content & physical form versus client farm(s) e.g. Diet starch% & source affects amylase & cellulase activities; Rumen ph & fluctuation; RDP; etc. Ditto for DMI k d /(k d +k p ) k p assumed; disagreement over use of k p of DM or nutrient and determination methods for k p (markers or fill/flux) DMI & diet influence rumen ph and hence k d Fine grinding of incubation samples 1-2 mm screen for ivndfd Results in maximal rates and extents of NDF digestibility 4-6 mm for ivstarchd Masks particle size effects on starch digestibility Ignores post-ruminal NDF and starch digestion 17
18 A bit more on digestion kinetics Grant, Proc State Nutr. & Mgmt. Conf., Dubuque, IA Jim Coors, UW Madison, Ben Justen s Thesis 18
19 For the most part, ruminal in vitro and in situ NDF digestibility measurements, should be viewed as relative index values for comparison among feeds/diets or over time within feeds/diets, rather than as predictors of in vivo digestibility 19

24 How is TTNDFD determined? Forage sample Rate of fiber digestion (kd) Potentially digestible NDF (pdndf) Rumen and hindgut digestion Standardized iv NDFD (24, 30, 48h) and undf Rate of fiber passage, (kp) PD NDF * kd/(kd +kp) TTNDFD (total tract NDF Digestibility) 24
25 TTNDFD combines in vitro rate of NDF digestion with undf to improve the prediction of in vivo fiber digestion Slide adapted from Dave Combs, UW Madison 25
26 Stand-alone in vitro NDFD30 or undf values are poor predictors of in vivo fiber digestion Slide adapted from Dave Combs, UW Madison 26
27 Typical NDF & TTNDFD values of forages NDF TTNDFD Average Good Alfalfa < 40% 42% > 48% Corn Silage < 40% 42% > 48% Temperate Grasses < 45% 44% > 50% Dairy quality alfalfa and corn silages will be < 40% NDF with a TTNDFD value of at least 42% Slide adapted from Dave Combs, UW Madison 27

33 Utility of On-Farm Fecal Starch? Can be used to predict total tract starch digestibility from available equation or using undf Monitor specific group over time Reflects total diet, not specific feedstuffs! Gives no indication of site of digestion If <3% starch in feces no need to investigate feeds to improve starch digestion If >3% should evaluate specific starchy feedstuffs 33
