 Aurora NIR

SLIDE 18

 What are the uses?

Quick adjustments to

ration

 Changes in forage

Quick analysis of new

ingredients

Analysis of TMR

 To verify ration

 Adjust DM

SLIDE 19

 Control System for Research Plot

Harvesters

Gathers data from different aspects and retains in
ne system

 NIR Data  Weights  GPS (optional)

Simplifies electrical system
Import maps direct from PRISM
Combines the sampler control so only one tablet,
ne program is needed
