The neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF) was analysed according to Van Soest et al. (1991).
However, crude protein, fibre, neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre were significantly higher in AHD than MOD.
Hemicellulose was determined as the difference between neutral detergent fibre NDF and ADF.
The concentration of neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL) and ash concentration were lowest in cv.
Delaying grazing date reduced herbage yield (P < 0.05) and the concentrations of neutral detergent fibre (NDF; P < 0.01) and acid detergent fibre (ADF; P < 0.01).
Silage produced using EN1 had lesser neutral detergent fibre (aNDF, P=0.046) and acid detergent fibre (ADF; P=0.006) concentrations than control silage.
The characterisation of untreated coconut dregs was conducted according to the acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, and acid detergent lignin (ADF NDF ADL) method (Goering and van Soest 1970).
Vermicomposting of cattle manure at 2, 4 and 6 weeks linearly increased (P < 0.05) significantly crude protein and ash, while it linearly decreased (P < 0.05) significantly organic matter, neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre.
The method described by Milne et al. (1992) was used to determine the dry matter, acid detergent fibre (ADF) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) contents of the sugarcane bagasse.
Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF) and Acid Detergent Fibre (ADF) were assayed without a heat stable amylase and expressed exclusive of residual ash, according to Van Soest et al. (1991) and method 973.18 (AOAC 1990), respectively.
Diets were designed to have different contents of neutral detergent fibre and crude protein.
