The feed manufacturer faces ever-increasing demands for product assurance and safety, which are enshrined in tougher Codes of Practice and Feed Assurance Schemes and other testing regimes set by major producers and supermarkets.In order to achieve this, the manufacturer must carry out compositional analysis for, amongst other things, nutrients such as, moisture, protein, oil, fibre, ash, starch and sugar.These analyses are vital to ensure effective purchasing and use of raw materials as well as in-process and final testing.
With a highly competitive market place and the pressures on operational costs, the manufacturer cannot afford an escalation in QC costs.INGOT® Near-Infrared calibrations packages, allow a substantial QC saving to be made by reducing the cost of nutritional testing without compromising analytical accuracy and precision.
