Abstract: This study evaluated the effects of silage source, physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF), and undigested neutral detergent fiber (uNDF) concentrations on eating behavior, ruminal pH, and reticular contractions for finishing beef heifers.

Abstract: Historical research had shown that forage particle size influences chewing activity, ruminal pH, volatile fatty acid profiles, and milk fat percentage. With this in mind, Mertens in 1997 published one of the most frequently cited… read more here.

Abstract: Physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) is a concept that accounts for the particle length of NDF in diets, sustaining the normal chewing behavior and rumen fermentation of ruminants. Specifically, peNDF>1.18 is the commonest one… read more here.
