The application of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy in the nutritional assessment of tree leaves as potential protein supplements for ruminants
(2015)This study was executed to calibrate and validate near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for use in predicting chemical composition, buffer nitrogen (N) solubility, in vitro ruminal dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) ... -
Application of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy to the nutritional assessment of tree leaves as potential protein supplements for ruminants
(Trop. Agric. (Trinidad), 2017)The utility of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) as a rapid nutritional evaluation tool is not yet fully defined for a number of non-conventional feedstuffs, which are considered to be of low economic value. ... -
Influence of harvesting site on chemical composition and potential protein value of Acacia erioloba, A. nilotica and Ziziphus mucronata leaves for ruminants
(Wiley, 2017)This study was designed to evaluate the chemical composition, buffer N solubility, in vitro ruminal N degradation and in vitro ruminal biological activity of condensed tannins in Acacia erioloba, Acacia nilotica and Ziziphus ...
