Feed Testing

How good is your feed?

Testing your feed will help you make informed decisions on:

1. The ability of the feed to meet the nutritional requirements of the animal
2. Formulating a ration to meet the animals’ nutrient requirements and avoid under or over feeding
3. What you are getting from a particular feed
4. To ensure a balanced ration that allows maximum production from your feed
5. Budgeting for nutritional gaps
6. Whether a feed is SAFE to feed livestock

What farmers have experienced…

“The most relaxed feeding I’ve done”

“After testing our roughage and grains, AgSolutions formulated our rations and we’ve been able to drop out Lime and Bicarb soda from our old rations. Using MegaMin is easy at 1 bag per tonne of ration and it’s a lot easier to handle and transport compared to liquid concentrates.” – Ashley & Maryellen Volz
