Crude Fiber Crude fiber is perhaps the most widely used criterion of quality in for- ages, from the energy standpoint. The quantity of crude fiber is intended to measure the quantity of the less digestible part of the forage. It is general- ly considered that the greater the crude fiber the lower is the digestibility. Because the crude fiber data examined here were obtained from the stations which furnished the samples of forage, some variability may be owing to the fact that the analyses were made in different laboratories. Relation of crude fiber to the digestibility of dry 65 samples of grass (bromegrass 26, orchardgrass 15, timothy 13, Kentucky blue- grass 5, reed canarygrass 4, and unspecified mixed grass 2), the data were: Crude fiber in percent of dry matter (X), ; Av. Digestion coefficient of dry matter (Y), ; Av. r = ; Y = - X; = ±; CV = A scatter diagram, indicating the grass species, appears in Figure 20 25 30 35 CRUDE FIBER IN PERCENT OF DRY 40 MATTER Figure between crude fiber in percent of dry matter and the digestion coefficient of dry matter, for grasses, by species. The abbreviations are B for bromegrass, 0 orchardgrass, T timothy, K Kentucky bluegrass, R reed canarygrass, and M mixed grasses. For all grasses, r = **. In 20 samples of alfalfa, the data were: Crude fiber in percent of dry matter (X), ; Av. Digestion coefficient of dry matter (Y), ; Av. - 17 -.
