Spectrométrie dans le proche infrarouge (NIRS). C'est actuellement la plus performante des méthodes de prédiction pour mesurer la digestibilité de la matière organique qui permet d'apprécier la valeur énergétique d'un fourrage. Lorsqu'on soumet un ensemble de molécules à un rayonnement lumineux infrarouge (longueurs d'ondes comprises entre 780 et 2500 nm), une partie du rayonnement est absorbée, une autre réfléchie. Les longueurs d'ondes absorbées sont spécifiques à chaque constituant et le degré d'absorption proportionnel à sa concentration. Le spectromètre indique ainsi le spectre réfléchi et permet d'en déduire le spectre d'absorption. C'est une méthode de mesure indirecte.
