You perform an analysis of carbohydrate content of animal feed for a non-ruminant foregut fermenter using the Van Soest Method. Being a non-ruminant foregut digester, the animal in your care does not have the high fermentive capacity of ruminant animals. Which of the following feeds (A, B, C, D) would most likely be the best source of carbohydrates for this animal? (CCF = cell content fraction, NDF = neutral detergent fiber, ADF = acid detergent fiber   Select one: a.   50% CCF, 0% NDF, 50% ADF   b.   5% CCF, 45% NDF, 50% ADF   c.   12.5% CCF, 12.5% NDF, 75% ADF   d.     45% CCF, 30% NDF, 25% ADF
