摘要

Understanding forage quality is essential for meeting animal demands and optimizing production. This study aimed to: (i) test the applicability of machine learning models with tabular data such as climate variables, light interception (LI), nitrogen dose (N dose), interval between grazing (GI), and pre- (HPRE) and post-grazing height (HPOST) to predict leaf crude protein (CP) content of tamani grass pastures; (ii) identify which variables contribute most to CP prediction. A set of 90 instances was used with 80% for training and validation and 20% for testing. The hyperparameters were adjusted with grid-search on the training set. We tested Linear Regression (LR), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF), and XGBoost. The MLP (r = 0.75, R2 = 44.18%, MAE = 1.55), RF (r = 0.78, R2 = 49.07%, MAE = 1.59) and XGBoost (r = 0.78, R2 = 56.65% MAE = 1.45) models presented the best prediction results (p < 0.001). The variables most important in predicting CP content were GI, followed by N dose, HPRE and HPOST. XGBoost outperformed other tested models (p < 0.001). Tabular data, including N dose, GI, HPRE, HPOST, LI, and climatic variables, is a viable alternative for predicting CP. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that management practices may have a greater influence on the chemical composition of Tamani grass than environmental conditions, although further research with larger and more diverse datasets is needed to confirm these findings.
