FT-NIR Analysis of Feed Ingredients
Bruker Optics offers the most comprehensive range of FT-NIR solutions for quality control and formulation adjustments. Samples can be analyzed non-destructively in seconds, saving costs by reducing time and reagent use.
The cost of animal nutrition represents the largest operating cost for most commercial livestock producers. In order to maintain an optimum balance between feed costs and productivity, all feed ingredients should be analyzed for nutrient concentration and these values are then used to formulate the rations and required supplements.
FT-NIR Spectroscopy offers a rapid, accurate and non-destructive tool for the Analysis of:
- Moisture
- Fat
- Protein
- Fiber
- Ash
