Abstract
Bangladesh is now progressing on feeds of
balanced ration. Preferred unconventional feed supplements are now trends for
the nutritional balance in commercially manufactured contents. The fibrous
carbohydrates represent the portion of the ration that is more slowly digested.
The fibrous carbohydrates occupy more space in the gut and require extensive
chewing to reduce the particle size for passage to the lower digestive tract.
The fiber in a ration is analyzed by laboratory procedures for either crude
fiber, acid detergent fiber (ADF), or neutral detergent fiber. The neutral
detergent fiber (NDF) procedure measures all the cellulose, hemicellulose, and
lignin. Crude fiber measures only cellulose and some lignin; acid detergent
fiber measures cellulose and all the lignin. For this reason, acid detergent fiber
(ADF) appears to be more closely associated with digestibility and neutral
detergent fiber (NDF) to rumen fill or dry matter intake. Since dry matter
intake and milk production correlate closely, with livestock populations,
especially dairy and poultry, any component of the ration affecting dry matter
intake would increase the feed conversion ratio affecting milk and meat
production. The suggested fiber is supposed to utilize in the content of
rations for high-producing cows and poultry.
