Soil
Sampling
Dairyland
Laboratories is pleased to announce that we will now be offering Soil Sampling
in addition to our quality lab testing. Sampling will include conventional
sampling of 1 sample per 5 acres as well as a variety of grid sampling options.
For more information click here-Soil
Sampling.
Lab
Report Updates
The
new report format will replace the “As Fed” column with a “Lab Average” column
on your Lab Report. As our Lab Reports expand, to include more parameters, having
Lab Averages as a guide will be beneficial. This change will affect
Forage Analysis Reports. Other products including
Grains and Distillers Grains Reports will continue to include
both the Dry Matter and "As Is" column, as Swine & Poultry nutritionists
may prefer to use the "As Is" information.
A
complete set of yearly forage and grain summaries, for the past six years, can
be found under the Feed & Forage tab at the top of
our website.

Cow
Relevant Starch Digestibility "adjusted" for particle size
Particle
size plays a significant role in the determination of starch digestibility.
This is important in the animal and also in the laboratory. The Sapienza/Dairyland
method of Cow Relevant Starch Digestibility (CRSTRD) utilizes a coarse grind
size so that 70% of the particles are between 6 and 8 mm. To learn more
