1 Fiber Analysis and 6.5 Biology Paul K. Sirois, Sarah E. Fessenden & Lynn Gilbert* Dairy One Forage Lab *AMTS Penn State Dairy Nutrition Workshop Grantville, PA November 15, 2017 Fiber the state of the union Where we are and how we got there Population statistics Incorporating new values into rations 1
2 Unless otherwise noted, all nutrient composition values are expressed on a dry matter basis as a percentage of the dry matter. NDFD values are expressed as a percentage of the NDF Comparison of detergent and crude fiber methods Cell contents Protein, Fat, Minerals NFC Starch, sugars, pectins, B-glucans, VFA Cell walls Hemicellulose NFE NDF Lignin Alkali soluble Alkali insoluble ADF Cellulose CF 2
3 Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) Procedure used to describe the total fiber content of feed (collectively cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) Sample is boiled in ND solution for 1 hr to dissolve the unwanted nutrients leaving the fibrous residue behind Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) Various chemicals are employed to dissolve the unwanted nutrients Sodium dodecyl sulfate protein & fats EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) Ca, Mg, Zn, pectins Triethylene glycol starch Sodium borate - buffer Sodium phosphate dibasic - buffer 3
4 Neutral Detergent Fiber (andf) Mid 90 s, procedure modified to include the following Amylase - enzyme to breakdown starch Sodium sulfite - protein Neutral Detergent Fiber (andfom) It is now being advocated that NDF be performed on an organic matter or ash free basis 4
5 Neutral Detergent Fiber (andfom) Large harvesting equipment Neutral Detergent Fiber (andfom) Flood irrigation 5
6 Neutral Detergent Fiber (andfom) The elevated total ash content of some feeds can sometimes contribute to elevated NDF values This can lead to an underestimation and underfeeding of fiber and the problems associated with low fiber diets. Neutral Detergent Fiber (andfom) Ash free fiber involves taking the fiber residue remaining after ND extraction and ashing it at 550 C for 2 hrs The NDF value is then corrected for the ash content The organic matter (om) or ash free NDF is reported as andfom 6

11 NDF Digestibility (NDFD) NDFD24, 30, and or 48 were used in conjunction with NDF and lignin to calculate kd kd = rate of NDF digestion or disappearance expressed as %/hr The unavailable or undigestible fiber was estimated as (lignin x 2.4) NDF Digestibility (NDFD) Kd = rate of NDF digestion or disappearance expressed as %/hr 11

28 Summary andfom correcting for ash will yield a cleaner NDF value and is most impactful in high ash samples When viewed as calculated indigestible rate constants (undfom240/lignin), the values are normally distributed about the mean. Graphs of (lignin x 2.4) vs undfom240 show a positive relationship between the two, though there is a large amount of variation within the population. Given the variation about the line, using undfom240 instead of the calculated indf should improve the determination of rate values. Some geographic differences exist in undfom values BMR corn silage had higher digestibilities at 30 hr and this carried through to 120 and 240 hr As the percentage of grass in a mixed forage increased, so did the digestibilities Differences in digestibilites across years were not immediately apparent. 28
