Our presence on the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show allowed us to present to the Welsh public the new AgrNIR portable forage analyzer, a system that in real time allows a NIR prediction of various forage materials. The response from both farmers and consultants was overwhelmingly positive as producers recognize the need to understand the nutritional composition of the dietry components and enable them to feed to optimal performance. The most appreciated features of the AgriNIR  were the accuracy of the analysis, the user  friendly interface of the machine, and the fact that there is no sample preparation to make. Positive feedback came also from the sales team of Wynnstay, that saw the AgriNIR as a power full tool to monitor the nutrients and the dry matter of silage, grass and TMR.

During the Livestock Event 2013 in Birmingham Greenforage introduced the new portable feeds analysis AgriNIR. Appointed as the official distributor for the UK by the italian company Dinamica Generale, who produce the AgriNIR, Greenforage completes its range of products focusing on its mission of providing money saving solution for dairy farmers.

The AgriNIR™ is a portable NIR analysis system able to perform analysis on any type of cattle feed, in any weather condition and in real time.

There was a lot of interest at the show, from farmers keen to keep costs under control and to make the most of the feed they have available, but also from nutritionists and vets keen to be able to have a real time check of the feeds for the cattle of the farmers they look after.

Performing feed analysis can be expensive,  often it is not available when needed, and the analysis is only “as good as the sample you test”. For this reason most of the farmers perform feed tests once in a while, missing most of  the benefits that can come from an accurate check.

With the AgriNIR this can be done as many as as often as the farmers ( or the nutritionist ) need to.

We thank all the visitors that brought their feeds to our stand,  had a free instant analysis with the printout of the result.

The Greenforage team will be exhibiting at the Livestock Event in Birmingham on the 3rd and 4th July 2013. The Livestock Event is the leading event for the UK livestock sector.  It presents a unique opportunity for all dairy, beef, sheep, goat, pig and poultry farmers as well as farm managers, stockman, consultants, processors and retailers to see the best livestock, equipment, products and services available in the UK market

Controlling feed costs is central to efficient livestock management and well managed grass has always been central to achieving this.
