EVALUATION OF FEED NEAR-INFRARED REFLECTANCE SPECTRA AS PREDICTORS OF METHANE EMISSIONS FROM RUMINANTS

Feed chemical composition is associated with methane (CH4) formation in the rumen, and thus CH4 yields (Ym; CH4 emitted from per unit of dry matter intake) could be predicted using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) of feeds fed to ruminants.Two databases of NIRS data were compiled from feeds used in experiments in which CH4 yields had b
