Abstract

Application of the NIR-microscopy to the feedstuffs. In this study, the use of near infrared spectromicroscopy detection and the quantification of meat and bone meal in compound feed is investigated. First, we show that it is possible to recognize animal particles in ground compound feedstuffs based on a spectral analysis. Secondly, the analysis of compound feedstuffs indicates that the NIR-spectromicroscopic method could be as reliable as the currently adopted optical microscopic method.
