| description | Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive and fast technology that has been increasingly used to analyse livestock diet quality. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to examine the utilisation of NIRS technology for analysing livestock diet quality, with a focus on identifying trends, methodologies, and challenges in recent research. We conducted a systematic search of the literature on five electronic databases and retrieved 718 studies that have been published on the subject. Fifty-four studies were subsequently selected and investigated in depth. These studies were categorised into two groups, namely benchtop and portable, based on the types of NIRS devices utilised, with a majority employing the reflectance spectra mode. Our analysis found that standard normal variate (SNV), detrend (DT), and multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) are the most commonly used spectral data processing methods. The findings indicate that NIRS technology can provide accurate and reliable measurements of key livestock diet quality parameters such as crude protein, fibre, and moisture content. Additionally, we discuss the challenges associated with NIRS technology and provide recommendations for future research directions to further advance the use of NIRS technology in the livestock industry. |
