AMINO ACID COMPOSITION OF FEEDSTUFFS

Different raw materials are characterised by their amino acid composition. In addition within a specific type of raw material but between different samples, differences in amino acid composition may occur as a result of cultivation and geographic influences. Therefore when mean tabular values of amino acid composition are used, consideration must be given to the…

NIR Spectroscopy

The Near Infrared Reflectance (NIR) Spectroscopy technique can be used for fast evaluation of the nutritional content of feedstuffs. This method requires a sufficiently large number of chemically verified analytical values for instrument calibration. The population of samples used for calibration has to be representative in terms of type and composition of the type of…
