(PRESS RELEASE) ANTWERP, Belgium / LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, 9-Apr-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — BASF SE (ETR: BAS), the world’s largest chemical producer and a prominent supplier to the automotive sector, announces that its subsidiary trinamiX GmbH, a leading provider of mobile spectroscopy solutions, and Intraco Ltd, a renowned exporter of premixes and concentrates based in Belgium and a part of Group DC, have joined forces to announce their groundbreaking collaboration in mobile feed analysis.

The primary objective of this partnership is to empower Intraco and its distribution partners with the capability to analyze the nutrient composition of feed using trinamiX Mobile NIR Spectroscopy Solution. This robust, handheld spectrometer, accompanied by a user-friendly mobile app and customer portal, equips feed advisors with real-time insights to assess raw materials and final feed. By leveraging this innovative solution, Intraco’s distributors can provide localized nutritional advice to farmers, ensuring the optimal nutrition of livestock in a cost-effective manner.

Understanding the nutrient content in animal feed is paramount to maintaining the quality of animal diets, especially considering the diverse nutritional requirements of livestock at various life stages and health conditions. Traditionally, feed advisors and farmers relied on standard nutritional values or labor-intensive laboratory analyses. However, with the trinamiX mobile NIR spectrometer, an extensive range of feed components can be analyzed within seconds, including finished feeds, cereals, oilseed and expeller meals, extraction meals and byproducts, and forage.

Intraco Ltd specializes in the manufacturing and marketing of animal feed concentrates, premixes, protein meals, and additives, serving poultry, ruminant, and pig farmers worldwide. With an extensive network of distribution partners, they are renowned for providing premium-quality feed and tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of their clients. The trinamiX Mobile NIR Spectroscopy Solution offers invaluable insights into moisture, protein, fat, energy content, and more, streamlining on-site nutritional analyses of local raw materials and enabling customized feed formulations directly to clients.

Steven Van Caekenberghe, Area Sales Manager at Intraco, emphasized their commitment to providing tailored solutions based on quality ingredients and expert advice. He stated, “At Intraco, we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for livestock feeding. We offer responsible and tailor-made solutions based on quality ingredients and expert advice. I am happy, that through the synergy with trinamiX, we can now provide further insights directly on the farm, helping farmers around the world to tackle one of the industry’s most complex challenges: efficient feed formulation and quality control of raw materials and final feed.“

Miriam Suhren, Manager Business Development & Sales IR Sensing at trinamiX, commended Intraco’s dedication to delivering optimal feed solutions. She said, “We are deeply impressed by the dedication and commitment of Intraco to offer the optimal feed solution to its distribution partners and their customers. By combining their expertise and experience with innovative technology, they are unlocking further potential for optimizing rations and quality control of raw materials.
