Rapid nutrient evaluation of sorghum silages using two types of near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy

Budiongo, K.J.; Harbers, L.H.; Seabourn, B.W.; Bolsen, K.K.; Brent, B.E.
This research was designed to develop a set

of prediction equations to measure nutrient

composition of Kansas sorghum silages using

both a portable and a research type near-infrared

spectrometer (NIRS). A robust set of

equations for dry matter, crude protein, neutral

detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber was

developed for a wide range of sorghum

phenotypes . NIRS analysis of sorghum silages

is feasible with both a tilting filter (portable) and

research instrument with a grating monochrometer.
