Implication

This analysis utilized unfd, unfdom, and AIA markers to estimate nutrient digestibility in dairy sheep and goats, suggesting potential for NIRS applications.

Key Points

All evaluated markers underestimated total-tract digestibility in dairy sheep and goats, which affects nutrient assessments.
Using acid insoluble ash as a marker revealed the lowest recovery when estimating nutrient digestibility.
NIRS models demonstrated potential screening performance for nutrient digestion traits but highlighted poor accuracy overall.
Further research is necessary to enhance NIRS prediction accuracy for total-tract digestibility measurements in small ruminants.
