- The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of urea and sodium hydroxide ( NaOH ) on the composition and disappearance of dry matter, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin of crushed rice straw, wheat straw and maize stover.
- The comparison of estimates for crude fibre, neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre in the prediction of digestible energy values of pig diets
- Also, nitrogen application could significantly improve the crude protein ( CP ) contents, while reduce the contents of acid detergent fiber ( ADF ) and neutral detergent fibre ( NDF ), which lowered the digestibility and so improved the nutrient value of the forage maize.
