Feed formulation and continuous quality control of raw materials are time-consuming and tedious – leaving room for inefficiencies. Thus, there is a need in the feed industry for increased flexibility and tailored solutions.

This is why BASF Animal Nutrition teamed up with trinamiX GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF SE developing and selling cutting-edge 3D vision and infrared sensing solutions. With their Mobile Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy Solutions trinamiX makes this well-established industrial method affordable and accessible beyond factory and laboratory applications. The ‘lab in the pocket’ provides fast and reliable on-site analysis of forages, animal feed ingredients, and finished feeds.
