Development and validation of near-infrared spectroscopy for the prediction of forage quality parameters in Lolium multiflorum

Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) is an important cool-season, annual forage crop for the grassland rotation system in Southern China. The primary aim of breeding programs is always to seek to improve forage quality in the animal productivity system; however, it is time- and labor-consuming when...
