Part of the Feeds Theme

We are using NIRS ( Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy) calibration software and models (@http://www.winisi.com/index.aspx) to analyze fodder quality in large sets of feed and fodder samples from crop and forage improvements, fodder marketing and feed processing, improvement of feed/fodder value chains and on-farm feeding work, and from prioritizing of feed interventions. The inter CGIAR NIRS network will support not only the feed and forage work but will support and facilitate feed related activities across CRPs.

So far we have generated a number of NIRS equations on a range of cereal and leguminous food-feed crops (sorghum, pearl millet, maize, rice, wheat, groundnut, cow pea, chickpea, lablab), forages (Napier, sorghum, pearl millet) and agro-by-products (bran, cakes)

The equations can be downloaded below.

To open and use the equations, it is necessary that you have the necessary hardware and software for the calibration and operation of FOSS NIRS instruments (see @http://www.foss.dk/industry-solution/feed-and-forage and @http://www.winisi.com/ISIproducts.htm).

If you need help to use these equations, contact KVSV Prasad or Michael Blummel in ILRI.
