Opportunities to improve feeding precision and reduce costs with the latest NIR technology to be presented at Bangkok conference
11 March 2016Recent developments in near infra-red (NIR) spectroscopy have the potential to substantially improve feed formulation precision and reduce losses associated with feed ingredient variability. Feed costs account for up to 80% of the total variable costs of animal production, and both under- and over-supply of nutrients translate directly into economic losses through higher feed costs or lower animal performance. The development around the latest real-time NIR analysis of feed ingredients therefore offers the opportunity to substantially reduce the costs of production. Such
