Determination of Chemical Composition of Some Feedstuffs, Used for Poultry Nutrition, by Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy
Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Agriculture - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the experiment was to determine the chemical composition of diets used for poultry nutrition and find out the relationship between two methods. As feed material, 5 different layers and 3 different broilers feed stuff were used. Although there were significant relationships (R2= 0.7239; 0.9549; 0.8573 and 0,9571 ) between two methods in terms of the contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, ether extract and ash contents, there were not significant relationships between two methods in terms of crude fiber and starch contents (R2=0.4015 and 0.296) of mixed feeds used for poultry nutrition. This study clearly showed that the chemical composition of diets used poultry nutrition can be estimated easily and cheaply. However, NIRS needs calibration for accurate estimation of crude fibre and starch contents of feeds.
