Abstract

This article discusses the application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and fecal near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (fNIRS) technologies in the nutritional assessment of ruminants. The analysis of these techniques allows for efficient monitoring of animal diets, facilitating the identification of essential nutrients and the quality control of feed. The methodologies presented are non-invasive and provide rapid and accurate results, representing a valuable tool for livestock management in sustainable production systems. The findings indicate that the use of these technologies can significantly contribute to improving productivity and sustainability in livestock farming. The objective of this article is to explore the application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and fecal near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (fNIRS) technologies as effective tools for nutritional monitoring of ruminants, aiming to enhance productivity efficiency and sustainability in livestock production systems.
