As an international dairy consultant, Steve Massie, Head of Nutrition at Renaissance Nutrition Inc. says he takes forage samples, matches those with the farm's goals and current production levels, and creates a tailored grain mix for the farms. “We sample all the silage in the bags so we can feed the best forage to the cows year-round ...
At Sinar we take your moisture seriously - Moisture is one of the most important factors impacting the quality and value of grain. For this reason, grain moisture testing is integral to growers, traders and end users producing, storing & marketing high-quality grain, and is a task that demands accurate and affordable measuring equipment. By evaluating moisture content before, after, ...
Accurate moisture measurement is critical at harvest time and throughout drying and storage. It makes financial sense to use a moisture meter that has a track record for providing consistent, accurate and reliable grain readings. At Sinar we take your moisture seriously ...
One of the main reasons for this is the hugely simpler sample preparation. ICP-MS instruments most commonly analyse samples in a dilute acid matrix, and for some sample types, the sample preparation is simply a case of diluting the sample to a suitable concentration to enable measurement (side note: I realize ...
Insects and mould are dependent on the temperature and moisture of the stored grains, with mould being the more common of the two for grain spoilage. ...
Moulds are the most common cause of grain spoilage and can cause changes in the appearance and quality of stored grains. ...
For lunar analogs, we use < 1mm grains of two mature soil samples, mare 10084 and highland 62231, as well as a Corning glass lunar-simulant and the silicate-mineral olivine. Our sample surface compositions were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and SIMS spectra were taken with a Hiden Analytical EQS. ...
Moulds are the most common cause of grain spoilage and can cause changes in the appearance and quality of stored grains. ...
Appropriate devices for obtaining either interstitial water or grain particle samples or for measuring dissolved oxygen (DO) at depth within the interior of large-scale, industrial granular bed filters are currently lacking. ...
Distillers grains (DG) are the still residues after the ethanol has been collected. ...
An observational study was conducted from 2001 to 2005 in Iowa to examine the relationships among: pH; CaCO3 equivalent (CCE); alkalinity stress index (ASI), which combines pH and CCE in one value; SCN; and soybean grain yield of SCN-resistant and susceptible cultivars. The study was conducted within 23 fields that had marked variability in soybean growth. Remote sensing of ...

Grain legumes could serve as a low cost nitrogen (N) and energy source for animal production in the southern Great Plains (SGP). ...
Grain β-glucan content is the most important attribute for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties destined for the human food market. ...
The advent of near infrared (NIR) on-combine sensors gives growers the opportunity to measure the grain protein concentration of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during harvest. ...
Samples were sieved and three grain size fractions from each sample plus fourteen bulk samples were selected for the analysis of metals. Laboratory analysis of the samples utilized the Cold Acetic protocol, followed by Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. ...
Pre-Treatment for Grain, Hair and Fishmeal ...
The most common sampling procedure used is swab or wipe sampling. The sample would consist of swabbing a known area, usually 10 square inches or centimeters with a sterile swab or gauze. ...
This report details the concentrations of over 60 elements in sewage sludge from 48 sewage treatment plants across Sweden; manure from pigs and cattle from 12 farms; the most common NPK and P fertilisers (2 of each sort); precipitation during one year from Gårdsjön in west Sweden; 25 topsoil and 25 subsoil samples from a variety of soil types; and 20 samples of ...
This technical note describes a study on the effect of different dispersing agents and the quantity of same on the grain-size distribution and in particular the percentage of clay size. ...
