Study the Determination of Cellulose,Hemicellulose and Lignin in feed by FIBERTEC 2010 Semi-automatic Fiber Analyzer

Van Soest method is commonly applied for fiber analysis worldwide, even though its measurement is known to be imprecise.Using an FIBERTEC2010Semi-automatic Fiber Analyzer, we determined the contents of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin in feed to compare with the results obtained by the Van Soest method.The new method showed a variation coefficient of RSD less than 4% with a significantly improved degree of precision.This article presents the modified methodology as well as a formula for result calculation.
