Forage Analytical Assurance (FAA) Group
Quality assurance for wet Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) of silages


 

 

  • The UK Forage Analytical Assurance Group is the quality control governing body for laboratories analysing wet forages.


  • Its members use Near InfraRed Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) machines to rapidly, reliably and accurately measure silage quality.


  • Collectively the group analyses approximately 60,000 grass, maize and whole crop cereal silages every year.
