Predicting herbivore faecal nitrogen using a multispecies near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy calibration.

Predicting herbivore faecal nitrogen using a multispecies near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy calibration.

Optimal management of free-ranging herbivores requires the accurate assessment of an animal's nutritional status. For this purpose 'near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy' (NIRS) is very useful, especially when nutritional assessment is done through faecal indicators such as faecal ni...
