Technical note: Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy to predict fecal indigestible neutral detergent fiber for dairy cows
The quick evaluation of feed through near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIR) are becoming more and more common on farms across the globe. This technology allows a quicker and cost-effective measurement of the chemical and digestibilityGlossaryView allDigestibilityGlossaryView allDigestibilityGlossaryView allDigestibilityGlossaryView allDigestibility
