Simpler intake estimation using direct observation in small ruminants: grouping bites by plant structure and morphology

Abstract Objective To validate the estimation of dry matter intake (DMI) obtained from bite categories (BC) and weight for every plant species (method 1: M1) vs. an alternative method (method 2: M2) grouping plants based on structure and leaf morphology. A dataset containing 80,813 bites and 33 plan...
