Cereal residues are an important feed source for ruminants in smallholder crop-livestock systems in the (sub)tropics. In many areas of India maize is a relatively new cash crop where farmers and development agents alike generally perceive maize stover to have limited utility, in contrast with the...

The paradox of limited maize stover use in india's smallholder crop-livestock systems
Stover quality traits are important in breeding programmes of maize cultivars. However, conventional procedures for evaluation of stover quality are expensive and thus limit the full exploitation of the
available genetic variability. Our objective was to assess the potential of near-infrared spec...

Feeding quality assessment of fresh maize stover by means of near-infrared spectroscopy with a new sample presentation unit
Maize stover is used to feed farm animals and the improvement of its quality is an important breeding goal. The main objective of our study was to evaluate a new near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy sample presentation unit for measuring feed quality of maize stover. In this context, we investigated ...
