By conducting this analysis, an accurate test will allow farmers to supplement animals with the appropriate rate of concentrates to meet animal dietary requirements and performance targets. Feeding of concentrations can be costly and therefore the level of meal being fed to livestock should be determined by the quality of silage being fed.

As grass silage is by far the most popular feed source during the winter months, it is important that farmers know the nutritional value of the silage they are feeding to ensure livestock keep up high levels of production and therefore profitability during this period.
