NIR - Feed analysis
Welcome to the page about NIR - Feed analysis of Engormix; a source of knowledge on NIR - Feed analysis.
Dietary energy available to animals is key to formulating feed as it is required for all aspects of animal life. In poultry, apparent (AME) and true (TME) metabolisable energy (ME) values have been developed for feed formulation with or without correction for nitrogen balance. Over the past 50 years, the accuracy of ME systems has been an ongoing debate and the data produced from different bioassays have been found not to be comparable (Farrell, 1999). Overall, the ingredient matrix ME...

Feed mixing and delivery is one of the most important activities on the dairy. Mixing and feeding a total mixed ration (TMR) is a multiple-times-per-day activity. Doing this job accurately and consistently time and time again, batch after batch and day after day is critical to production (volume and components), animal health and overall farm economics.
Accuracy and consistency of mixing and feed delivery may be one of the greatest effectors of production and feed efficiency on the...

1. Introduction Virgin olive oil is an essential component of the traditional Mediterranean diet. Its quality is known to be influenced by a number of factors, including plant variety, environmental conditions, agronomic and harvesting practices and technological processes [1,2]. The International Olive Council (IOC) [3] and the European Union (EU) [4] have established standards that can be applied to all the olive oils subject to international trade. The Commission...

1. Introduction According to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, Member States in Europe should establish and implement multi-annual control programs for contaminants in feed and food materials and derived products, to ensure that checks are regular and proportional to the risk for animal and human health [1]. In the Netherlands, descriptive (including trend) analyses of historical monitoring results and risk modelling are performed with the aim to obtain insights into which...

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapid analysis method that enables a multipurpose analyzer to be calibrated to predict nutritional component values after analyzing the reflectance of a feed ingredient in the near-infrared spectrum. The reliability of a NIRS prediction for a nutritional component depends on the accuracy of the determined wet chemistry laboratory values used to make the initial NIRS prediction equation. As reviewed...

Trypsin inhibitors (TI) and urease activity (UA) are the two most relevant quality measurements for soybean products as feed ingredients for animals. TI were reported to be correlated with UA, so feed processing plants use UA as an indicator of TI in soybean meal (SBM). The objectives of this study were to determine the levels of TI and UA in 414 SBM samples from 19 different countries in 5 world areas, and to validate whether TI and UA are correlated. TI in solvent-extracted SBM were 2-6...

Introduction The implementation and monitoring of quality control, quality assurance systems, and their standard operating procedures in feed mill operations are integral in assessing the overall success and profitability of livestock operations. The proper sampling of finished feed and its subsequent analysis is a common standard operating procedure that is used for most swine nutrition studies to ensure that adequate diet manufacturing and delivery have been met; therefore,...

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is nowadays a common tool to analyze the nutritional content of feedstuffs. Corn hybrids and drying temperatures could affect the nutritional value of the grain. It is important to determine if these factors are detected by NIR. Two corn hybrids (Dekalb 68-05 and Dekalb 65-20) varying in kernel hardness (average and hard respectively) were dried at three temperatures (35, 80, and 120°C) to investigate the effects on its nutritional content....

Our increasingly detailed knowledge and understanding of the nutritional needs of production animals means we now have the potential to provide feeds which optimise health, growth, and hence, financial return. Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has provided the feed industry with the means to meet that potential by accurately measuring key nutritional components, such as essential amino acids, in feed ingredients as they arrive at the feed mill, and finished feeds as they leave. This fast,...

A new buzz-word is rapidly spreading through the manufacturing and analytical environment. Discussions on the application of Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy are often found on the agenda of production, project, technical and even board meetings. Engineers and chemists are confronted more frequently with the challenge to decide whether a NIR instrument will be the solution to their production quality control and other analytical problems. Are there really amazing machines that can determine...
