1. WPSA Indonesia Collaborates with Pandutech 2026 on Precision Feeding Webinars
Jakarta, 25 June 2026. The WPSA–Indonesian Branch, in collaboration with PT Pandu Anugerah Analitika, presented a free online webinar entitled “Precision Feeding in Modern Livestock Farming: The Role of FT-NIR in Feed Quality Control and Efficiency.” The webinar was held on Thursday, 25 June 2026, from 09:00 to 11:00 Western Indonesian Time. This event highlights the growing importance of Fourier transform–near-infrared (FT-NIR) technology in supporting more accurate, efficient, and consistent feed quality management. FT-NIR technology enables rapid analysis of important feed parameters and can assist livestock and feed industry professionals in making timely decisions related to raw material acceptance, feed formulation, production consistency, and nutritional quality. Its application is increasingly relevant to the development of precision-feeding systems in modern poultry and livestock production.
The webinar featured Henri E. Prasetyo, DVM., M. VSc, representing the WPSA Indonesia, and Sri Wahyuni, Product Advisor at PT Pandu Anugerah Analitika. The speakers shared scientific perspectives, practical knowledge, and recent developments concerning the application of FT-NIR technology in the livestock-feed sector. Through this collaboration, the WPSA in Indonesia continues to support knowledge exchange and adoption of innovative technologies that improve feed efficiency, production performance, and sustainability within Indonesia’s poultry industry.
