Ethiopian lab scientists meet to compare notes on use of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) to estimate livestock feed quality

Low livestock productivity mainly related to poor nutrition is a common problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Matching the available feed resources with the requirements of animals could increase productivity, reduce the environmental impacts, and reduce feed costs. Routine feed evaluation has proved very...
