1. NIRS Sensor Controlled Total-Mixed-Ration For Nutrient Optimized Feeding Of Dairy CattleThe exact regulation of dry matter, energy and ingredients in fodder rations provides a large advantage in order to optimize an economical animal nutrition. Feed mixer wagons are used to feed Gras and Maize silage together with other components. It can be used in combination with a transponder system for feed concentrate as well as for feeding of a total mixed ration. The online measurement system based on NIR-spectrometric sensors to measure DM-content and other nutrients should... P. Büscher, P. Twickler, D. Marquering, M. Müller, D. Maack |
2. Changing the Cost of Farming: New Tools for Precision FarmingAccurate prescription maps are essential for effective variable rate fertilizer application. Grid soil sampling has most frequently been used to develop these prescription maps. Past research has indicated several technical and economic limitations associated with this approach. There is a need to keep the number of samples to a minimum while still allowing a reasonable level of map quality. As can be seen, precision agriculture management... P. Nagel, K. Fleming |
3. You Can Not Manage What You Dont MeasureThe problem of variability in soil nutrient analysis has been studied for years by a number of industry experts; unable to decipher and commercialize hyperspectral soil sensing. Many studies have taken years of testing to account for variability thathas a dramatic impacts on precision of recommendations. The main tradeoff we have identified is between accuracy and precision. Large quantities of raw data are required... K. Fleming, N. Schottle, P. Nagel, G. Koch |
