Determination of forage quality of available species is one of the fundamental factors for the management of rangelands. Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) was used to analysis the Nitrogen (N), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Dry Matter Digestibility (DMD) and Metabolizable Energy (ME) content of three phenological stages (vegetative, flowering and seeding) of Bromus tomentellus samples in […]
Rangelands are important for plant productivity, livestock production, wildlife, conservation of soil and water resources, and etc. One of the main problem of rangeland is that has not been used based on its potential that leads to more degradation of rangelands.
