Abstract

Measurement of the total and spectral reflectance of visible radiation, 400-700 nm, by cattle coat and muzzle was conducted using the integrating sphere and spectroradiometer.
The total reflectance of visible radiation by black, brown and white coats were 3 77%, 11.68% and 65.76% respectively. Total reflectance values for muzzle were 11.5%, 34.61% and 22.l,lt% for black, brown and brown-black muzzle respectively.
