摘要: Combining titanium dioxide (TiO_2) as indigestible marker to faecal near-infrared reflectance spectrometry (F-NIRS) can be used to determine cattle feed intake and quality of ingested forage if F-NIRS spectra are not modified by the marker. This studyaimed at determining the compatibility of TiO_2 with F-NIRS. Three dry cows were fed a standard hay-based diet for three weeks supplemented with a daily dose of 0.1% (10g) TiO_2 during the last two weeks of the experiment. Faeces samples were collectedevery day and analysed for TiO_2 and F-NIRS. ( Results suggest that TiOi did not interfere with F-NIRS analyses. The calculations of crude 1 protein, NDF, ADL contents, as well as dry matter intake did not change over time with increasing TiO_2 in the faeces (R > 0.05). Slight differences observed for other predicted [ parameters seemed to be independent from TiOi. The higher Mahalanobis distance (B) for r chemical composition (H = 7.2) independent from TiOi inclusion could indicate that faecal f spectra did not correspond exactly to the prediction database. Although 0.1% incorporation of I TiO_2 seem not to interfere with F-NIRS measurements, caution must be taken with higher levels I of TiO_2 as nothing indicates that interference could not appear.
