Premium grains for livestock: an update on NIR calibration development and implementation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides a brief update on the development of NIR calibrations for a range of chemical, physical, in vitro and in vivo analyses. The major emphasis in this section of the PGLP from now on will be the implementation of NIR tests at strategic locations within the grain and animal industries. This would allow the test results to be used for pricing grains in accordance with their suitability as an animal feed, and also as a real time decision tool in grain utilisation and diet formulation.
