Traditional analytical methods of assessing forage nutritional value are time-consuming and expensive. The near infrared reflectance method appears as an alternative that does not utilize chemicals, is not destructive and is extremely fast. However, in order to be used in a routinely basis, calibration curves have to be developed from laboratory results and mathematical equations. The objective of this paper was to develop calibration curves for corn silage, using a total of 246 samples collected in different regions of Rio […]
