For over eight decades, Schaumann has been a leader in the production of minerals and active ingredients for animal feed, becoming a trusted partner for farmers worldwide. Their commitment to innovation has played a crucial role in their success, driving the development of products that align with the latest scientific advancements, benefiting both farmers and the entire livestock industry.
The implementation of NIR technology with the FeedCares Scanner is proof of the company’s progressive approach, incorporating the latest technology from AgroCares. Schaumann’s advisors use the Scanners daily to provide their clients with the best possible support in optimizing animal nutrition. Providing animals with the highest quality feed that delivers all the necessary nutrients is the foundation of their health and productivity. To achieve this, it is crucial to have a precise understanding of the feed’s composition. This is where AgroCares Scanners prove invaluable, allowing for quick and accurate determination of nutrient content. Thanks to this, Schaumann specialists can perfectly adjust the amount of feed additives, ensuring an optimal diet for the animals.
Trust as the Foundation of Our Cooperation
The implementation of FeedCares was a significant step forward for Schaumann, enabling them to provide even more comprehensive and valuable support to their clients. Before implementing this technology, Schaumann relied primarily on wet chemistry methods for feed analysis. However, FeedCares proved to be a breakthrough, offering numerous advantages:
- Speed
- Cost-effectiveness
- Reliability
- Accuracy
Dr. Zbigniew Dzionek, the Chief Nutrition Consultant and Sales Director at Schaumann, passionately represents the company’s deep belief in the potential of the FeedCares Scanner: “The results provided by the Scanner are very accurate, and the price and conditions offered by AgroCares are exceptionally good for us.”
Dzionek further emphasizes the Scanner’s accuracy, sharing an interesting anecdote: “I remember the story of a farmer who came to us concerned about the analysis results of his silage. He had commissioned an analysis at a traditional laboratory, but the results completely contradicted what he himself observed in his feed. He decided to take further action– he consulted his veterinarian and sent samples to a renowned laboratory in Germany. In the meantime, taking advantage of the opportunity, we tested the sample with our FeedCares Scanner. And, you know what? When the results from Germany arrived, it turned out that the Scanner was spot on! This was further proof for us that this technology is not only fast and convenient but, above all, accurate.”
Economic Benefits and Increased Value for the Client
The implementation of the FeedCares Scanner not only streamlined Schaumann’s internal operations but also brought tangible economic benefits. The company managed to reduce laboratory analysis costs and anticipates a return on investment within two seasons. Furthermore, Schaumann integrated the technology with its advisory packages, enabling them to offer clients feed analysis at no additional cost. This added value was greatly appreciated by farmers, further strengthening Schaumann’s position as a trusted partner in the agricultural community.
Schaumann’s implementation of FeedCares is not only an example of their continuous pursuit of innovation but, most importantly, proof of their deep understanding of their clients’ needs. It is an investment that benefits both Schaumann and the farmers they work with.
Thanks to NIR technology, feed analysis has become faster, more accurate, and more accessible. It is no longer just about numbers and charts but a real tool that helps nutrition advisors and farmers make better decisions regarding animal feed. It is a breakthrough that allows us to jointly build a more sustainable and efficient future for the livestock industry.
The FeedCares Scanner is not just a device; it is a symbol of a partnership with farmers. It is a promise that we will always strive to deliver solutions that genuinely impact their success. It is proof that innovation only makes sense when it serves specific people and their needs.
