Predicting maize silage starch degradability by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy

Extract
Maize silage consists of a starch and a fibrous fraction, both of which should be considered when assessing nutritive value. The in vitro evaluation of starch disappearance is laborious and costly. The near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) technique requires limited sample preparation and is quick to operate once a calibration is established. This study investigated the potential of NIRS to predict maize starch disappearance in vitro.
