In order to assess the nutritive value of pig diets, performance and digestibility trials must be conducted as there is no accurate alternative to predict nutritive value. However, the use of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) to predict performance from feed ingredients has been shown to have potential. Owens et al (2007) investigated the use of NIRS to predict the performance of broilers offered wheat-based diets, through scanning of whole wheat, and observed that NIRS accurately predicted liveweight gain and gain:feed. The aim of this study was to investigate if NIRS could be used to predict the performance of pigs, through scanning of the complete diet.
