NDF and indigestible NDF (INDF) content in barley, rapeseed meal and grass silage was
measured in five research laboratories. NDF content (%DM) was similar for grass silage (50-52%),
but varied from 21 to 25% in barley and from 19 to 31% in rapeseed meal. The variation in INDF
content was also high, mainly due to differences in NDF analysis of the residue. Differences in
effective rumen NDF degradability were also high for grass silage (52-64%), barley (50-70%) and
rapeseed meal (38-56%), respectively. This ringtest underlines the need for standardization of the
NDF analysis and of in situ procedures.
