Product Description

Fast, accurate on-farm forage and feed analysis

The Dinamica Generale X-NIR is a portable NIR analyser designed to give farmers, nutritionists, contractors and agricultural professionals rapid nutritional analysis of forage, silage, grains and feed ingredients directly on farm.

Instead of sending samples to a laboratory and waiting for results, X-NIR provides fast on-site analysis, helping you understand the quality of your feed and forage when you need the information most.

For Irish livestock farmers, where forage quality can vary significantly between cuts, fields and growing conditions, having access to real-time nutritional information can help improve ration management, forage utilisation and feed efficiency.

Analyse Your Forage and Feed On Farm

X-NIR can analyse a wide range of agricultural materials, including:

  • Grass silage
  • Maize silage
  • Hay
  • Green grass
  • Green maize
  • High-moisture maize
  • TMR
  • Alfalfa
  • Cereals and grains
  • Feed ingredients

Depending on the material and calibration being used, X-NIR can provide information on important nutritional parameters including dry matter, crude protein, fibre, starch and ash.

This makes it a valuable tool for monitoring forage quality from harvesting through to feeding.

Why Use an NIR Analyser on Farm?

Get Results When You Need Them

Traditional laboratory forage analysis requires samples to be collected, submitted and processed before results are available. X-NIR allows you to analyse samples directly on farm, giving you information in minutes.

Monitor Grass Silage Quality

Silage quality can vary considerably across fields, cuts and different stages of harvesting. Regular on-farm silage analysis can help identify changes in dry matter and nutritional value and support better feeding decisions.

Make More Informed Ration Decisions

Knowing the nutritional value of your forage and feed ingredients allows you and your nutritionist to make more informed decisions when balancing rations.

Portable and Simple to Use

X-NIR is a compact, battery-powered portable NIR analyser with an integrated touchscreen, making it suitable for use around the farm, in the field, at the feed store or during forage harvesting.

Analyse Without an Internet Connection

The analyser can be used without an internet connection, allowing you to carry out analysis wherever you are.

A Practical Tool for Irish Farming

For dairy and beef farms across Ireland, forage is often the foundation of the diet. However, its nutritional value can change depending on crop, field, cutting date, weather and harvesting conditions.

X-NIR provides a practical way to measure forage quality on farm, helping turn feed analysis into a regular part of farm management rather than something only done occasionally.

It can be particularly useful during the silage-making season, allowing farmers and contractors to monitor forage as it is harvested and stored.
