Highlight The effect of saliva on esophageal fisfula samples was minimal. Regression equafions are presented which compare crude protein and crude fiber confenfs of esophageal fisfula samples with those of forage of known composifion. Squeezing esophageal fisfula samples, air drying the solid portion, and treating the liquid portion with phenol will preserve samples where laboratory facilities are not available.
