Near infrared reflectance analysis of grains to estimate nutritional value for chickens
Published: November 17, 2009
Summary
Summary Maximising bird growth rate, feed efficiency and profitability of broiler production depends, among other factors, on accurate measurements of the apparent metabolisable energy (AME) content (MJ/kg) and AME intake (MJ/d) of cereal grain based diets. Near infrared (NIR) calibrations have been developed to measure these characteristics for cereal grains. Further research is being conduct...

Thanks for the good article.
The new concept of NIR (Near Infrared Reflection) analysis would help Feed manufacturers & Livestock farmers to stream line the formulation of animal diet for measuring key factors like Apparent Metabolic Energy (AME).

NIR is an advance technology to analyze the grains profile. its technology is going to common in Pakistan. The only difficulty is that NIR requires lot of data for percision.
