Introduction:
Kyle Tysom, CEO of Dairy land Laboratories, shares how NeoSpectra is empowering feed and forage testing for the dairy industry. NeoSpectra enables real-time analysis, offering unprecedented efficiency and accuracy for dairy farms and feed mills.
Challenges:
Traditionally, the workflow feed and forage testing involves:
- Collecting samples on the farm
- Sending samples to the lab
- Waiting 2-3 days for results
Solution:
With NeoSpectra, real-time on-farm analysis is possible, drastically empowering the decision-making process. Dairyland Labs leverages NeoSpectra to test major nutrients and manage variations in forages and feed ingredients.
Implementation:
NeoSpectra's handheld NIR scanner provides lab-quality spectral data and models, allowing Dairyland Labs to:
- Manage moisture and macronutrients on dairy farms
- Analyze high inclusion ingredients like distiller's grains and soybean meal in feed mills
- Make immediate decisions on accepting, rejecting, or further testing loads
Results:
- Enhanced Decision-Making: Immediate on-site analysis opens new decision pathways, improving feed management.
- Cost-Effective: NeoSpectra offers comparable capabilities to traditional lab instruments but at a significantly lower cost ($3,000-$5,000 vs. $60,000-$100,000).
- Direct Relationships: Enables more direct interactions with end-users on farms and feed mills.
Client Testimonial:
"The package of hardware and its capabilities at this price point is amazing. There's very little I can't do with NeoSpectra that I can do with a $100,000 instrument. It’s a paradigm shifting what's possible."
Conclusion:
NeoSpectra and Dairy land Laboratories are pioneering a new era in feed and forage testing, providing real-time, cost-effective, and accurate analysis. This collaboration empowers dairy farms and feed mills with the tools needed to make informed decisions swiftly and efficiently.
