NIR Analysis of Ruminant Feed

When stock are not performing as expected on a ration, why is that?

Many rations are balanced using 'book values' - an average value, which can lead to over or under feeding. Analysing individual feeds or compound feed will make for a more balanced ration and may well save you money. NIR is a cheap, quick and reliable method of analysing the nutrient content of a feed.

This analysis is to test compound or straight ruminant feed by Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIR), which measures the absorbance of infra-red light, interpreted against a primary reference method of a wet chemistry laboratory assay.

The analysis includes: Ash (NIR), Crude Fibre, Moisture, NCGD (DM), NDF, Oil A, Oil B, Protein, Ruminant ME (DM Basis), Starch, Sugar.
