method_description | Description: Determine the ash content of a sample of forage Materials: muffle furnace; porcelain crucibles; laboratory balance; Dependent_on: Protocol: 1. Sample forage according to your sampling protocol. 2. Weigh crucible and record weight to 4 decimal places. 3. Weigh approximately 2 g into crucible. 4. Record weight to 4 decimal places. 5. Ash sample at 600oC for 2 h. (Bring temperature rapidly to 600) 6. Cool in desiccator and weigh within 1 h after reaching room temperature. 7. Weigh ashed sample and record weight to 4 decimal places. 8. Calculate % Ash and record value with one decimal. 9. https://www.clemson.edu/public/regulatory/ag-srvc-lab/feed-forage/procedure20.html |
