A key component of any model based on the CNCPS is the ability to use feed analyses that correlate to the critical feed measurements used in model equations. We have been working with Christiane Brandes and Nils Landwehr of Rock River Laboratory–Europe to facilitate model usage in and ensure the analyses imported will work with AMTS. Christiane recently sent the following information:
Rock River Laboratory Europe, located in the Northeastern part of Germany, is the exclusive partner of Rock River Laboratory Inc. in the US. We stand to assist dairy cattle and equine owners, and their nutritionists, to analyze feedstuffs to make informed decision for optimal ration balancing. We offering NIR and access to the same accurate prediction equation databases employed by each of the existing nine Rock River Laboratory locations throughout the world. Thanks to this technology, the customers will get the same research-founded analysis as offered in the United States without the headache and time loss of sending samples overseas. http://rockriverlab.eu/en
