Research advances of the application of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy technology in the evaluation of feed quality and safety

Near infrared reflectance spectroscopy(NIRS) is a major technology for controlling feed quality and safety in feed industry. It was not only used to analyze the nutritional compositions of feed, but also used to trace the origin of products concerned, and it also could be used for enforcing the registration system of feed. So NIRS has good foreground for inspection purposes in feed industry. For promoting the application of NIRS in the evaluation of feed quality and safety, the recent development of NIRS was introduced in this paper.
