Evaluating NIRS for predicting faecal fibre, protein fractions and digestibility in dairy sheep and goats fed alfalfa hay and concentrate

Evaluating NIRS for predicting faecal fibre, protein fractions and digestibility in dairy sheep and goats fed alfalfa hay and concentrate

This study evaluated the effectiveness of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in predicting faecal fibre, protein fractions and total tract apparent digestibility in dairy sheep and goats fed varying ratios of alfalfa-hay and concentrate. A total of 180 faecal samples from dairy sheep and goats were c...
