Prediction of quality of total mixed ration for dairy cows by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy and empirical equations

This study aimed to evaluate the predictive ability of NIRS for the estimation of the chemical composition and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of total mixed rations (TMR) for dairy cows. Moreover, herein, empirical equations based on chemical parameters were developed for calculating the OMD. Sa...
