A

NFC

NRC (2001) recommends that dairy rations contain 35%-45% of ration DM as NFC

NFC or NDSC represents all forms of digestible carbohydrates that are solubilized after boiling a feed sample in neutral detergent solution. These are all forms of non-cell-wall carbohydrates and include starch, sugar, pectin and fermentation acids, which are digestible and serve as energy sources for the animal. Because NFC includes some other digestible compounds in addition to starch and sugars included in NSC, NFC generally shows a higher value than non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) on the feed analysis report.
