Abstract
The purpose of the study that is presented herein was to develop near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) calibrations to predict total phosphorus (P), phytate-P, and protein concentrations of feed ingredients commonly used in monogastric feed formulation. Samples representing 14 vegetable ingredients (cereals, cereal by-products, and oilseed meals) were collected worldwide throughout 2013. The samples were assayed by standard wet chemical techniques for total P, phytate-P, and protein content. There was substantial variability in protein, phytate-P, and total P within and between ingredients used in the calibration set. Protein content varied from 76 to 487 g/kg. Total P ranged from 2.09 and 22.5 g/kg and phytate-P ranged from 0.99 and 13.8 g/kg. Within these broad ranges, NIRS values were highly correlated for determination of protein, total P, and phytate-P with a standard error of prediction equal to 9.06 g/kg, 0.80 g/kg, and 0.66 g/kg, respectively. The wide diversity and heterogeneity of the mix of feed ingredients allowed the development of NIRS calibrations of sufficient accuracy to help nutritionists control the nutritional composition of their feed.
