Total Tract Neutral Detergent Fiber Digestibility

Fiber is an essential component of diets for dairy cattle. In high producing dairy cows, the energy for milk production comes from digested fiber in the ration.

Neutral detergent fiber is a forage test that measures the total amount of fiber in a feed.

Neutral Detergent Fiber Digestibility (30 Hours)

NDFD is an incremented measurement of NDF fiber digested in the rumen. Efficiency and rate of digestion are both measured in this calculation.

The digestibility is measured at 30 hours.

Neutral Detergent Fiber Digestibility (240 Hours)

NDFD is an incremented measurement of NDF fiber digested in the rumen. Efficiency and rate of digestion are both measured in this calculation.

The digestibility is measured at 240 hours.

Starch

Starch is a carbohydrate extracted from agricultural raw materials which is widely present in literally thousands of everyday food and non-food applications.

It is the most important carbohydrate in the human diet.

Integrated Seed Sector Development (ISSD)

Quality seed is a key input for agriculture with an immediate effect on agricultural production and productivity.

It is an inclusive approach that recognizes and builds upon a diversity of seed systems in the sector.

Tons @ 65%

To determine capacity in lbs of silage as fed divide by the dry matter content.

If it is 65% moisture then that means it is 35% dry matter.
