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.BeefSorghum silageNutrient contentNear-infrared reflectance spectroscopyConference paper
