Using near infrared spectroscopy to predict metabolizable energy of corn for pigs

Using near infrared spectroscopy to predict metabolizable energy of corn for pigs

ABSTRACT: The chemical composition of corn is variable and the knowledge of its chemical and energetic composition is required for an accurate formulation of the diet. This study aimed to determine the chemical composition, that is, dry matter (DM), mineral matter (MM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF)...
