DRY MaTTER TESTING

nir analysis
CFA provides Feed Analysis using FOSS Near Infrared technology which brings world class analysis of all animal forages, in affiliation with Dairyland Laboratories, INC USA.
NIR feed analysis programs a computer to recognise individual nutrients in feedstuff, based upon the light absorbed at each near infrared wavelength.
To program a computer in this way requires a large database of samples that have been analysed using the traditional ‘wet chemistry’ method. The samples are then scanned by the NIR instrument to compile a collection of calibrations.
Dairyland Laboratories have over 30 years of NIR experience and one of the industry’s largest data bases of samples, which is continually being updated.
CFA’s collaboration with Dairyland Laboratories gives New Zealand access to the industry leading NIR calibrations delivering our clients comprehensive, rapid and cost effective feed analysis.
