Animal nutrition directly affects milk production, animal health, reproductive performance, and dairy profitability. Dairy farmers often face challenges due to poor-quality cattle feed,adulterated feed ingredients, fungal contamination, toxin presence, and low-quality silage.Conventional feed testing laboratories are expensive and inaccessible for many rural farmers.There is a need for rapid, portable, affordable, and digitally enabled feed quality assessment systems.Emerging technologies such a

Participants are required to develop a rapid digital testing solution that can: • Assessing nutritional quality of cattle feed and silage; • Detecting adulteration and contamination; • Providing instant farmer advisories and feed recommendations; • Monitoring feed storage and silage conditions. The solution may include: • Portable testing devices; • Smartphone-enabled feed analysis; • Al-powered nutritional prediction; • Cloud dashboards; • QR-based authenticity systems. The system may detect: • Crude protein • Moisture • Fiber • Energy value • Mineral deficiencies • Urea adulteration • Sand/silica contamination • Aflatoxins and mycotoxins • Fungal contamination Silage monitoring may include: • pH • Fermentation quality • Moisture • Spoilage indicators • Mould growth •
