See moreOne of the major objectives of the national Premium Grains for Livestock Program (PGLP) is to develop rapid methods for measuring the determinants of grain quality relevant to the nutritional requirements of ruminants, pigs and poultry. This paper provides a brief update on the development of NIR calibrations for a range of chemical, physical, in vitro and in vivo analyses. The major emphasis in this section of the PGLP from now on will be the implementation of NIR tests at strategic locations within the grain and animal industries. This would allow the test results to be used for pricing grains in accordance with their suitability as an animal feed, and also as a real time decision tool in grain utilisation and diet formulation.
