Fermentation in the rumen of cattle produces methane (CH4). Methane may play a role in
global warming scenarios. The linking of grazing management strategies to more efficient …

Science-based approaches to agricultural and environmental management are needed to
accelerate development progress in the world's poorest countries. We present a diagnostic …

The advent of NIRS technology for assessing quality of plant/forage/feed tissue and
predicting diet quality from feces offers livestock nutritionists, researchers, farm advisors and …

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, usually in reflectance mode, has been applied to the
analysis of faeces to measure the concentrations of constituents such as total N, fibre …

To evaluate the effects of balancing total diet degradable intake protein with dietary total
digestible nutrients (TDN), we conducted two studies during 2 yr with 100 (302±8 kg initial …

Extreme weather and climate events have become more frequent and directly affect the
ecological structure and function of integrated grazing lands. While the Great Plains have …

This chapter outlines the constituents and properties of forages and feedstuffs that have
been measured by near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. It explores the range of applications in …

The effect of nutrition before and after calving on metabolic status and the resumption of
ovulation postpartum was examined in multiparous sucked beef cows on subtropical …

The objective of this study was to determine whether digesta kinetics, energy intake (EI, kcal
ME intake× kg−. 75· d− 1), grazing behavior, or body temperature differed by breed …

The objective of the study was to evaluate performance of classic (global) and innovative
(local) calibration techniques to monitor cattle diet, based on fecal near infrared reflectance …
