How mobile forage analysis is reshaping feed efficiency on livestock farms

21.07.2025 228 views

With rising production costs, shifting subsidies, and the urgent call for climate-conscious farming, livestock producers face an uphill battle. But where pressure mounts, innovation follows.

In a bold step forward, Eurofins and trinamiX have teamed up to put advanced forage analysis — once confined to the lab — directly into the hands of farmers. Their new mobile solution, powered by the PAL Two spectrometer and a dedicated app, enables on-the-spot silage testing, transforming guesswork into precision.

For farm advisors and nutritionists, this means faster decisions, better rations, and the chance to act before problems take root. In an industry where margins are tight and sustainability matters more than ever, real-time data could be the difference between treading water and moving ahead.

In this video, Dan Robinson from Eurofins and Dr Nils Mohmeyer of trinamiX walk us through the practical benefits of on-farm forage analysis — and demonstrate how this compact device is helping the livestock sector feed smarter, faster, and more sustainably.
