Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF)
Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF) represents the total cell wall content of feed materials, including hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. It is a critical parameter in animal feed analysis, particularly for ruminant nutrition, as it directly influences feed intake and rumen function. Higher NDF values indicate bulky feed, which can reduce voluntary feed intake. Maintaining optimum NDF levels is essential for proper rumination, milk fat synthesis and prevention of digestive disorders such as acidosis.
