Acid detergent fiber (ADF) is determined gravimetrically by measuring the residue left after an acid detergent extraction.

ACID-DETERGENT FIBER (ADF) is the portion of fiber that is composed of cellulose and lignin. ADF is related to forage digestibility (energy) and is used to calculate forage total digestible nutrients (TDN) or net energy (NE) for hay, haylage and corn silage. Forages lower in ADF are usually higher in energy.
