Association between grinding energy and in-vitro neutral detergent fibre digestion kinetics in forages

Anelich, Claudia Bruna (University of Pretoria, 2017)

Through the measurement of grinding energy, the possibility exists to predict forage fragility as related to the chemical composition of forages. It is also possible to predict a potential relationship between forage ...
Developing a procedure to measure grinding energy of forages as a predictor of forage fragility

Prinsloo, Elfriede (University of Pretoria, 2014)

The structural organization of plant organs and tissues determine the intake potential through the ease of forage particle breakdown, the nature of the particles produced as well as the rate of passage from the rumen. The ...
Estimation of indigestible neutral detergent fiber in forages from cell wall components

Claassen, Ronel (University of Pretoria, 2018)

Ruminants can utilize forage fibre material due to an unique adaptation of the stomach that is called the selective retention mechanism. The fibre cell wall is composed mostly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The ...
