Sample Categorization
For best results, it is important to determine the correct ratio of Diatomaceous Earth (DE) to sample. Before using
your ANKOM
HCl
Hydrolysis System for production testing, it is recommended that you categorize your samples
into types and determine the standard amount of DE needed for each sample type. The following information is
from testing done in the ANKOM lab. This information is meant to help you categorize your own samples.

After adding the DE to the filter bag, press the eraser end
of a pencil into the DE to create an indentation into which
the milk can be added using a pipette. Record the weight
(to make sure DE was not transferred to the pencil) & tare.
After adding cream to the filter bag using a pipette (see
milk technique above) and not overflowing the indentation
in the DE, leave the filter bag open and dry it in an oven
for 1 hour at 100-105°C. Seal the bag.

Most forages are light. Do not allow the mass in the bag to
puff out the sides of the filter bag which will make it more
difficult to completely saturate the sample.
