NIR Maize Silage Package includes: maize silage & fresh cut maize. Starch & sugar results are also included.
CNCPS Dairyland Package (NIR) includes: hay, pasture and silage.
AusScan Package (NIR) available for wheat, barley, triticale, sorghum, soya bean meal & canola.
NIR Transition Package
For dairy fodder to assess NIR plus 7 minerals – Ca, Mg, P, Na, K, S & Cl. DCAD included. Any standard NIR package above can use this package.
Non-NIR Packages (Ruminants) - Wet Chemistry Analysis
These packages apply to all feed samples for which NIR calibrations are not available. Generally unusual mixed feed rations, DDG, by-products, almond hulls, meals, soya bean, brewer’s grain, molasses, canola seed & meal etc.
For samples with an estimated fat <2%, we recommend Option 1 or 3.
For samples, with an estimated fat >2%, we recommend Option 2, 4 or 5.
1. Non-NIR Feed Package includes: dry matter, moisture, crude protein, dry matter digestibility, dry organic matter digestibility, metabolisable energy (ruminants) & ash.
2. Non-NIR + Fat Package: as per option 1 + fat
3. Non-NIR + AN Package: as per option 1 plus acid detergent & neutral detergent fibre
4. Non-NIR + ANF Package: as per option 3, plus fat
5. Non-NIR + ANFSS Package: as per option 4, plus starch & sugar
Other Feed Energy Packages
Pig Digestible Energy (DE) includes: dry matter, moisture, crude protein, fat, ash, crude fibre, nitrogen free extractives & pig digestibility.
Poultry Metabolisable Energy (ME) includes: dry matter, moisture, crude protein, fat, starch, sugar & poultry energy.
AusMeat Metabolisable Energy (ME)
