Near-infrared calibration models for estimating volatile fatty acids and methane production from in vitro rumen fermentation of different total mixed rations
Volatile fatty acids (VFA) and methane (CH4) are the major products of rumen fermentation. The VFA are considered an energy source for the animal and rumen microbiota, and CH4 (which is released by eructation) is considered an energy loss. Quantification of these fermentation products is fundamental...
