Crude fiber is a rough indicator on how much energy is in the feed.
No, NDF (neutral detergent fiber) and crude fiber are different components used to estimate the fiber content in animal feed. NDF includes hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin, while crude fiber is an older method that only measures cellulose and lignin. NDF provides a more comprehensive analysis of fiber content compared to crude fiber.
The factors that affect digestibility of a feed are fat or energy content, crude protein content, fiber content and water content.
Crude fiber does, in fact, have enzymes. There are also enzyme supplements that work to help aid the original enzymes in crude fiber digestion. The enzymes digest the crude fibers.

Feed is by far the largest input cost of producing food and fiber of animal origin, exceeding even the initial cost of the animals themselves
Wheat, corn, oats, barley, rice, soybean, crude protein, ground fiber (alfalfa), Calcium, sodium, Vitamin A,D3 and E.

Crude Fibre is named so because of extracting through acid alkali digestion method. Dietary fibre is not easily digested by our body enzymes and helps in stool movement after fermented by microbes
According to the Feed Table link below, the Crude Fibre content of barley is 5%. Two-row and six-row barley grain has 6% CF.
In the determination of crude fiber, the hydrolyzed sample must be in contact with a hydrolyzing agent to break down complex carbohydrates such as cellulose and hemicellulose into simpler components. This process allows for the separation of insoluble fiber from soluble fiber, enabling accurate measurement of crude fiber content. Without proper hydrolysis, the fiber components may not be effectively separated and quantified, leading to inaccurate results.
Wool is an animal fiber that comes from sheep or alpacas.
Animal dungs can vary in chemical composition depending on the animal species and diet. Generally, they are rich in organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. When decomposed, animal dungs release nutrients that can improve soil fertility and support plant growth.
