Abstract In a comparative study of the Karl Fischer method with oven methods for determination of water in forages and animal feeds, oven methods yielded the following relative recoveries (expressed as a percentage of the recovery obtained by the Karl Fischer method) for hay, haylage, and corn silage, respectively: (1) drying at 135°C for 2 h (AOAC 930.15), 113,162, and 133%; (2) drying at 104°C for 3 h (AOAC 935.29), 96,122, and 113%; and (3) drying at 104°C for 6 h, 97, 129, and 117%. Relative recoveries for nonurea-containing and urea-containing feed, respectively, were as fol lows: (1) drying at 135°C for 2 h (AOAC 930.15), 116 and 2746% (2) drying at 104°C for 3 h (AOAC 935.29), 88 and 239%; (3) drying at 95°C for 5 h under vacuum (AOAC 934.01), 83 and 727% (4) drying at 104°C for 6 h, 90 and 427%; and (5) drying at 110°C for 3 h, 94 and 425%. Preliminary near-infrared reflectance calibrations for water (moisture) based on the Karl Fischer method were promising (r2 = 0.98; standard error of calibration = 0.20).
