Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of NIRS to predict gas production (GP) kinetics for maize ear and stover. Two approaches were applied to characterize GP kinetics: 1. describing GP profi les by fi tting an exponential model and 2. by calculating GP for various incubation intervals. In the fi rst approach, NIRS pre dic tion equations could explain a high proportion of variability related to the fermen ta tion rate (c), the asymptotic GP (A), and the lag phase (L) of ear samples in the calibration sub set (R: 0.81-0.87), while for stover predictive ability was inferior. Validation showed satisfactory results only for the fermentation rate (R: 0.81-0.88). In the se cond approach NIRS calibration was acceptable for GP in several incubation inter vals, but validation showed satisfactory results for intervals 3-7, 7-12, and 7-16 h of sto ver samples only (R>0.74). Further research is required to elucidate potential sources of error before obtaining robust NIRS equations.
