This presentation describes the potential use of near- and mid-infrared sensors as analytical tools for real-time measurements on farms. The technology has been used at laboratory level for many decades and is accepted today as an official method for the determination of the composition of agricultural and dairy products. The application of infrared spectroscopy for quantitative measurements started in the agricultural and dairy industries. Since then, the technique has been used in various industrial fields (pharmaceutical, chemical etc.). The simplicity of this technology makes it well suited as a farm analytical tool. The methods are fast and little or no sample treatments or chemical reagents are required. It is outlined that on-farm sensors must be very robust, easy to operate and also rather inexpensive. Many obstacles remain to be solved before the method fulfils the most critical demands for an on-farm sensor.
