We can carry out macro and micro mineral testing in association with a feed quality analysis.

Understanding the quality of both pasture and supplement feeds is valuable when assessing feed management and budgeting programmes, and ensuring that dietary requirements and production goals are met. 

Eurofins Agro Testing Australia can accurately assess the quality of your feed before you distribute it, buy it or sell it. We provide mineral analysis by traditional wet chemistry methods, and partner with another laboratory to provide testing using Near Infrared (NIR) technology for hay, silage, pasture and grain feeds.

Testing benefits 

• Determine how well your feed meets the nutritional requirements of your livestock
• Make informed decisions on feed rations or budgeting for feed gaps
