From the Receiving Pit to the Extruder
The same analyzer serves routine feed QC, forage testing, and at-line process control.
- For QC & the Lab: Formulate with confidence. Fast moisture, protein, fat, fiber, and ash results for incoming ingredients, in-process blends, and finished product, with UCal™ 4 for custom models and full LIMS traceability.
- For Production & Operations: Hit targets while the batch is live. A sealed, fanless analyzer runs on the floor with one-touch operation. Adjust conditioning, mixing, and drying in process, and reduce off-spec product and giveaway.
- For Nutritionists & Formulators: Buy and blend by real numbers. Verify the nutritional value of incoming ingredients and forage so least-cost formulations hold to spec instead of book values.
- For Plant Management: One standard across every site. TRUE ALIGNMENT® Spectroscopy and KPMLink® keep multi-site results consistent, with no mandatory recurring license.
The Numbers Behind Every Feed and Forage Spec
Moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash, and starch across ingredients, compound feed, forage, and finished pet food, with an extended range supporting more difficult constituents.
Ready-to-Use Calibrations Include:
- Compound & complete feeds: poultry, swine, cattle, aqua, and layer rations
- Feed ingredients: soybean meal, corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, DDGS, canola meal, fish meal
- Forage: fresh and dried grass, hay, alfalfa, corn silage, haylage, total mixed ration (TMR)
- Pet food: dry kibble, treats, meat meals, rendered ingredients
- Protein concentrates and premixes
Measured Constituents Include:
- Moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash, acid insoluble ash
- Oil, oil DM, starch, calcium, phosphorus, salt, calories
- Sugar, fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, mannol, stachyose
- ADF, NDF, ADL, Ca, P, NaCl, Cu, Zn, pH
- Lysine, methionine, cysteine, ME (MJ/kg)
- Glucosinolates, linoleic acid, Mg, silicate
- Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), crude fiber
- %xtract as Is, %Extract dry, gelatinization
- Gossipol, acid aalue, protein dispersibility index (PDI)
- Urease activity, EFOS, KOHPD
- DNDF48, DP, ADP, WSC ESC, lignin
- Gas production, enzyme soluble organic matter
- Vitamin A, vitamine B1, vitamine B3, vitamine C
- Propionic acid, butyric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, ethanol, NH4-N
Additional feed, forage, and pet food calibrations are available, and custom calibrations can be built with UCal™ 4. Talk to our experts about your unique needs.
Proven NIR, Built for the Lab and the Line
- Fast: samples analyzed in under a minute; results on a 17" touchscreen in a couple of touches.
- Simple & safe: little or no sample prep, no hazardous chemicals to buy, store, or dispose of.
- Sealed & fanless: a sealed, powder-coated aluminum case with no venting or fan - at home in a clean lab and rugged enough for at-line use.
- Stays aligned: patented TRUE ALIGNMENT® Spectroscopy (TAS) corrects drift and re-standardizes the instrument to factory values, so results hold over time and transfer cleanly across units and locations
- Connected: UScan™ software with SPC trend charting, direct report printouts, customizable LIMS export, and cloud access via KPMLink®
Why Choose the SpectraStar?
- NIR over wet chemistry: minutes instead of hours, no solvents, operator-independent results you can act on at the line.
- Open calibration approach: ready-to-use Unity calibrations plus UCal™ 4 to build or port your own models freely.
- No mandatory recurring license to keep your analyzer running. Combined with a user-changeable 10,000-hour lamp and low-cost user parts, this can lower total cost of ownership.
- Extended range, dual detector: 680–2600 nm across 1920 data points, reaching below and above the conventional ~800–2500 nm NIR window to support difficult constituents like fibers, sugars, and fatty acids.
- Sealed, fanless design: no venting or fan, for dust and rugged use at-line.
- ISO 12099 aligned: meets NIR guidelines for feedstuffs, cereals, and milled cereal products
