The Use of the Nylon Bag Technique for the Evaluation of Feedstuffs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The history of evaluation of the nutritive value of feedstuffs is reviewed, leading into a description of the development of the artificial fibre bag technique. me type of material and construction of the bag are described in detail and preparation of the samples and incubation times are also discussed. Applications of the technique to a study of the rumen processess; degradation of protein supplements; degradation of roughages and forages and application in the Tropics are also discussed.

Comparison of in vitro and in situ techniques for estimating protein degradability of selected feedstuffs
The objective of this study was to estimate the protein degradability parameters of 6 common ruminant feedstuff using the nylon bags (in situ) and the innovative in vitro method-the DaisyII incubator. Significant differences were observed between the in situ and in vitro methods in estimation of the rapidly soluble (a) fraction (Pin vitro method were highly correlated with the estimated values ...
متن کاملDeveloping a Modified in vitro Gas Production Technique to Replace the Nylon Bag Method of Evaluating Protein Degradation of Alfalfa Hay in Ruminants
The present study was conducted to investigate the possibility of using a modified in vitro gas production technique in place of the nylon bag method to estimate protein degradability of alfalfa hay in ruminants. In the in situ experiment dacron bags were filled with 3 g alfalfa hay. This was incubated in the rumen of three ruminally cannulated Ghezel rams for the periods of 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16,...

This research was conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of vicia faba residues processed with some chemical compounds using in vitro and nylon bag techniques. Treatments included unprocessed vicia faba residues (control) and processed with water (2.5 lit/kg DM), calcium oxide (160 g/kg DM), hydrogen peroxide (57 ml/kg DM) and sodium hydroxide (50 g/kg DM). The chemical composition o...
متن کاملTechnical note: A special apparatus for facilitating the in situ nylon bag measurement of the ruminal degradation of feedstuffs in cattle.
A new apparatus, named Bang-Bang (BB), which can facilitate the in situ nylon bag measurement of ruminal degradation in beef cattle, is described. The BB is an apparatus specially designed as a replacement of the traditional steel chain or flexible plastic tubes for binding the bags used in the in situ nylon bag (ISNB) method. The BB apparatus consists of cylindrical pedestals, sealing clips, n...
متن کاملThe evaluation of the mobile nylon bag technique for determining the apparent protein digestibility in a wide variety of feedstuffs for pigs.
Studies were conducted with four (50 to 70 kg) barrows to evaluate the mobile nylon bag technique (MNBT) for determining the apparent protein digestibility (AD) in a variety of feedstuffs. One-gram samples of each feedstuff, ground through a 1.0-mm mesh screen, were enclosed in nylon bags (25 X 40 mm; 48 microns mesh). Following predigestion (.01 N HCl; 4,000 Folin Intestinal Pepsin Units/liter...
