Accuracy of two optical chlorophyll meters in predicting chemicalcomposition and in vitro ruminal organic matter degradability of Brachiaria hybrid, Megathyrsus maximus, and Paspalum
(Elsevier, 2017)The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy and reliability of 2 optical chlorophyll meters: FieldScout CM 1,000 NDVI and Yara N-Tester, in predicting neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), ... -
Ammonia pre-treatment of low quality cereal residues for ruminant nutrition
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)"Abstract not copied" -
The application of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy in the nutritional assessment of tree leaves as potential protein supplements for ruminants
(2015)This study was executed to calibrate and validate near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) for use in predicting chemical composition, buffer nitrogen (N) solubility, in vitro ruminal dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) ... -

Buffer nitrogen solubility, in vitro ruminal partitioning of nitrogen and in vitro ruminal biological activity of tannins in leaves of four fodder tree species
(Wiley, 2014)This study explores the chemical composition, buffer N solubility, in vitro ruminal N degradability and in vitro ruminal biological activity of tannins in leaves from Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala, Morus alba ... -
Chemical composition and in vitro ruminal fermentation of red grape pomace spent mushroom substrates
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Red grape pomace (GP) is a by-product of grape wine and juice making industries. The pomace is produced in large quantities and thus tends to have detrimental effects on the environment when it is disposed into the landfills ... -
A comparative study of the chemical composition of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) and spinach beet (Beta vulgaris var. cicla L.)
(Elsevier, 2017)The chemical composition of three lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars (‘SA Standard’, ‘WL711’ and ‘WL525’) were compared to spinach beet (Beta vulgaris var. cicla L.), a familiar leafy vegetable (as control), in order ... -
The composition of ambient and fresh biomass burning aerosols at a savannah site, South Africa
(ASSAf, 2016)Atmospheric aerosols play a key role in climate change, and have adverse effects on human health. Given South Africa’s status as a rapidly-developing country with increasing urbanisation and industrial growth, information ... -
Effect of species and harvesting site on phytochemicals and nutritive value of woody browse species found in semi-arid areas
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)The main objective of this research study was designed to assess the effect of woody browse species and harvesting sites on nutritive value and bioactive compounds of woody browse species found in rangeland parts of ... -
Long-term assessment of aerosol chemical composition in the interior of South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)The impacts of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) are co-determined by chemical composition. PM with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) typically contains a significant fraction of organic- (OC), elemental carbon (EC), ...
