Abstract
A method that accounts for environmental factors by measuring the starch and fiber degradation characteristics of a variety of genetically different crop plants and grain from crop plants in real time to determine how the crop plants should be conserved, processed and blended into a feed formulation that results in optimum productivity of the ruminant animal. A method further including determining starch digestibility characteristics of a set of crop plant samples comprising grain of said crop plant; developing a prediction equation based on said starch digestibility characteristics, obtaining a grain sample from a crop plant, determining in real time starch digestibility characteristics by NIRS of said sample by inputting data from said NIRS into said equation, storing and/or milling said grain on an identity preserved basis, and determining the amount of said crop plant to incorporate into a feed formulation based on the starch digestibility characteristics.
