ObjectivejDevelop rapid method to measure important
amino acids in corn for poultry and p ylivestock rations using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) whole grain analyzersanalyzers
Why?Why?• Current lab methods are costly and time consuming• Corn breeding programs and feed ration balancing will
be facilitated with rapid measurement systems

Can’t we do this already?• Calibration attempts to measure selected
amino acids in grain usually predict total g y pprotein and only calculate a typical amino acid level based on the protein plevel.
• Accurate measurement of amino acidsAccurate measurement of amino acids may rely primarily on the characteristics of the samples used for calibration

to success!coordinated by Michael Fields Agricultural Institute represent unique ratios of selected amino acids(methionine lysine cysteine)(methionine, lysine, cysteine) to total protein; thus the analyzer can “learn” this new relationship pand provide a more accurate measurement.

What did we do?• We used breeder samples with relatively high
level levels of selected amino acids fromlevel levels of selected amino acids from harvest years 2006 (106 samples) and 2007 (406 samples)( p )– Lysine 0.26-0.53– Methionine 0.14-0.39Methionine 0.14 0.39– Cysteine 0.14-0.37

Kovalenko et al. 2006 proposed using R2 or RPD (Relative Predictive Determinant) to test whether values are calculated values or true predicted values

What do the results mean?• Methionine and lysine can be measured by NIRS with
ffi i t f ti isufficient accuracy for genetic screening.• Measurement of cysteine reflected protein
measurement therefore we cannot conclude that we aremeasurement, therefore we cannot conclude that we are able to measure cysteine independently.
• Additional carefully selected calibration samples from future harvests will likely enhance accuracy and serve as a validation set.
