1. A method of developing a near-infrared (NIR)/neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD) calibration model comprising:
converting gas pressure per mass of isolated NDF or whole sample from in vitro gas production of a calibration sample to NDFD using an IVGP/NDFD correlation algorithm,
measuring NIR data from the calibration sample, and
correlating the NIR data from the calibration sample to the NDFD of the calibration sample.
