Excellent point Dr. Wen. In NRN, LLC experience Evonik NIR calibrations are accurate, particularly trypsin inhibitors in soybean meal. However, it is important to note that although reactive lysine may be an informative tool formulation is still based on digestible amino acids in monogastric nutrition. Ingredient digestible lysine coefficients are pivot for precise nutrition in commercial formulation. In that respect, specifically for soybean meal we delivered to the industry at the 2022 International Poultry Scientific Forum regression equations to estimate digestible lysine and arginine coefficients utilizing KOH protein solubility [Precise nutrition: Regression equations using KOH protein solubility to estimate digestible lysine and digestible arginine in commercial lots of soybean meal that have undergone the Maillard reaction. International Poultry Scientific Forum, Abstract M106, p. 34].
Of course, NIR is suitable for the 76 soybean meal samples used in the building of the regressions. Nelson Ruiz Nutrition, LLC, Suwanee, GA USA.
