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...
