The new metabolisable protein system (AFRC, 1992) introduces the requirement to distinguish between the energy in feeds which is fermentable (available for microbial growth) and that which is non-fermentable (available to the host animal; NFE). Fermented forages such as grass silage (GS) may contain substantial amounts of fermentation acids (FA) (volatile fatty acids (VFA) and lactic acid (LA)) and therefore, contain a considerable proportion of NFE. The aim of the present experiment was to investigate the use of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) as a rapid method for predicting the FAs in fresh (undried) GS.
