Greenforage presents the new forage analyzer:
AgriNIR™: The NIR portable forage analyzer
AgriNIR™ is a portable NIR forage analyzer that quantifies the percentage of moisture (dry matter), crude protein, starch, ADF, NDF and ash of the plant material being analyzed in seconds.
Now you can analyze the feed for your livestock everyday and adjust your cows’ diet in real time. Farmers and nutritionists, as well as consultants, are able to perform a full analysis of their forage on site (stall, silage pit, field), in any weather and have the analysis printout with the results in 60 seconds. Feed analysis becomes a daily routine. The forage analyzer is pre-loaded with NIR calibration curves for 7 NIR Families (Crop Families), with a total of 44 curves. Other crop families and calibration curves can be supplied on request by the producer, Dinamica Generale Srl.
> ANALYSIS PERFORMED ON-SITE: in field, in the stall, on biogas plants, on warehouse stock, on the weighbridge/vehicle scale.
> ANALYSIS PERFORMED IN ANY AND EVERY WEATHER CONDITION
> ANALYSIS PERFORMED IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS
> EXTREMELY EASY TO USE – NO NEED OF ANALYTICAL EXPERTISE
> LOW ANALYSIS COST – NO DIRECT COST PER SINGLE ANALYSIS
> NO SAMPLE PREPARATION – NO SAMPLE PRE DRYING – NO SAMPLE WASTE
> COMPACT AND ROBUST FOR TRANSPORTATION
> POSSIBILITY TO PRINT TICKETS WITH ANALYTIC RESULTS
