Rapid Method of Screening Forage Breeding Material, Using a Fibrometer
Keyword(s):
Abstract A simple device, a fibrometer, has been devised for measuring the bulk value of a forage sample. The bulk value obtained by using the fibrometer was significantly and negatively correlated with acid-detergent fiber and cellulose. It was also significantly and positively correlated with in vivo and in vitro dry matter digestibility. This method reduces the effort required to analyze a large number of breeding materials for nutritional value and is also economical.
