Introduction Dr. David Mertens (2012), USDA-DFRC, proposed that the five most important nutritional measurements for hay crops are: dry matter (DM), ash, amylase-treated neutral detergent fiber (aNDF), some measure of digestibility or energy value, and crude protein (CP). More and more, these parameters can be estimated on-farm, or at least one can receive a flag as to when a parameter has changed. ...

DDGS can be used in poultry and swine feeds, provided that its quality meets nutritionist's expectations. As an industrial by-product from the ethanol industry, its composition may vary not only among suppliers but also in the course of time, depending on the cereals coming in and technological management of the plant. Therefore, we strongly recommend controlling DDGS quality as frequently as possible. NIR (Near Infrared Reflectance) offers the possibility to...

I. INTRODUCTION Rapid assessment of the quality of feed ingredients is now crucial for the financial success of intensive livestock producers. A great deal is known about the nutrient requirements, factors determining feed intake and the negative impacts of anti-nutritional factors for all intensively reared livestock including poultry. Diets formulated for optimum performance and profitability need to meet, but not...

In animal feed production, accurate measurement and fine-tuning of the moisture content in the ongoing process ensures a consistently high product quality, reduces the operating costs, and increases margins. The moisture content of animal feeds to a great extent determines the quality of the end product and the margins that a feed producer can achieve. Though the maximum moisture content of feeds is prescribed by law, their...

I. INTRODUCTION The nutritional value of feed ingredients comprises all nutrients needed for maintenance and production of animals. This paper mainly focuses on the energy value of feed ingredients, which depends on the nutrient composition (starch, fat and protein), the efficiency of nutrient digestion and absorption in the intestinal tract, and the presence of anti-nutritional factors (ANFs). Although the composition of...

I. INTRODUCTION Cereal grains used by the poultry industry in Australia vary widely in available energy and protein content which is often reflected as variation in bird performance because standardised ingredient values are used for diet formulation. Rapid or real-time techniques for measuring the AME content of grains for birds will assist the purchase of grains at appropriate prices and the accuracy of feed formulation...

1. Introduction REP files ("repp files") make calibrations less sensitive to environmental and sample variations. The abbreviation REP has usually been referred to as repeatability although it would be more correct to let it stand for reproducibility. 2. Experimental To illustrate the effect of using REP files to stabilize NIR...

Introduction Dairymen use feed and forage testing to reduce feed costs and maximize production. As such, accuracy of the feed tests are of great concern. The true objective of a forage or feed analysis is to predict animal performance from the forage and feed used in a ration formulated to meet nutrient requirements. This means that dairymen must consider, first, does the test relate to animal performance and, second, what the error of analysis...

Technology has changed the way and speed with which feeds are analyzed. Reports list a wide range of nutrients; some measured some calculated from other measurements. Before deciding what and how often to analyze the following should be considered. 1. Nutrient variation – feeds that have a great deal of variation should be analyzed more often. 2. Individual versus mixed feed – usually we analyze the individual feeds for ration...

I. INTRODUCTION Numerous works have shown substantial variation in nutritional value of soybean meals (SBM) due to several factors such as genotype, crushing, anti-nutritional factors, implying a need for better and rapid characterization (De Coca-Sinova et al., 2008; Karr-Lilienthal et al., 2004). During the past two decades, Adisseo has been conducting in vivo studies to evaluate digestibility of amino acids (Green et al., 1987) and...

ABSTRACT The primary objectives of this research were to measure total and phytic phosphorus (P) in a range of ingredients and to establish prediction model using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). A total of 227 ingredient samples was collected worldwide during one year and most of the sampled ingredients were cereals, cereal byproducts, oilseeds and oilseed meals. All of the samples were analyzed for their total and phytic...

ABSTRACT Nutritive values of major ingredients vary considerably not only among different feedstuff but also the same ingredients of different batches. Rapid screening nutritive value has been a great challenge in the feed industry. This study assessed 4 soybean meal (SBM) samples using both NIRS technique and broiler experiments. In broiler Test 1, 4 SBM samples were assigned the same "book value", so that the four dietary...
