Abstract
Outline Purchase Export
The objectives of this study were to: 1) investigate forage carbohydrate molecular
structure profiles; 2) bio-functions in terms of CHO rumen degradation characteristics
and hourly effective degradation ratio of N to OM (HEDN/OM), and 3) quantify
interactive association between molecular structures, bio-functions and nutrient
availability. The vibrational molecular spectroscopy was applied to investigate the
structure feature on a molecular basis. Two sourced-origin alfalfa forages were used
as modeled forages. The results showed that the carbohydrate molecular structure
profiles were highly linked to the bio-functions in terms of rumen degradation
characteristics and hourly effective degradation ratio. The molecular spectroscopic
technique can be used to detect forage carbohydrate structure features on a
molecular basis and can be used to study interactive association between forage
molecular structure and bio-functions.
