Aim and scope of the workshop
- ExtraMIR is an IDF/ICAR joint project with the overall goal to offer a more complete and deeper understanding of the activities related to the use of Mid Infrared (MIR) spectra in the dairy sector.
- ExtraMIR should Improve the communication about the prediction equations available and their potentialities in practical use.
- Offer a platform to compare the predictions given by different equations predicting the same trait.
- Offer a platform to validate models.
- Propose guidelines to standardize the spectral data.
- Propose guidelines to communicate the performances of an equation.
This workshop will introduce the project activities planned so far, it will kick-off the work in the four working areas of the project and will outline the agenda for the project for the next 12 months.
