Simplification of the Dry Matter Disappearance Technique to Estimate Forage Quality1

W. A. Kendall, J. R. Todd and W. C. Templeton, Jr.2

The technique to determine percent dry matter disappearance (DMD) with a solution of 0.2% pepsin 0.075 N HCI was simplified by eliminating the pepsindigestion apparatus and by using paper in place of glass filters. These changes produced lower DMD values for all forages tested, but with suitable changes in the equation for calculating the Nutritive Value Index, the final results were identical.

Key Words: Nutritive value index (NVI)

1 Cooperative research by the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station and Crops Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. The investigation reported in this paper (No. 69-3-56) was in connection with a project of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station and is published with the approval of the Director.

2 Plant Physiologist, Crops Research Division, ARS, USDA; Research Specialist and Professor of Agronomy, University of Kentucky, Lexington, 40506, respectively.

Received for publication June 13, 1969.
