Remote NIRS technique: Dairyland Lab Inc. (USA)
The Laboratorio Analisi Zootecniche began its collaboration with Dairyland Laboratories Inc Arcadia – WI (USA) in January 2017; through a process of equipment standardisation we have been able to align our equipment with that of Dairyland: as a result we are now able to work with new parameters present in American calibrations (especially CNCPS dynamic rationing).
The zootechnical foods are processed at our headquarters and the multi-spectral scans are taken using our equipment. The NIR multi-spectral scans are then sent to Dairyland. Using their equations, they then rework the data in the same day.
The most important parameters are the digestibility of the NDF (NDFD) and the undigested NDF (uNDF) in forage crops at various times, as well as the digestibility of the starch (IVSD, 7h: In Vitro Starch Digestion at 7 hours) in corn. All of which is incorporated in the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS).
