Chemistry is a term generally used to describe direct analysis of nutrients in a feedstuff. Typically these procedures utilize chemicals to dissolve or isolate individual nutrients for quantification. These analyses provide the most accurate values available for an individual sample, although at a greater cost and slower turnaround time than NIR analysis. Chemistry analyses vary from $6-$35 for an individual nutrient and the turnaround time for most chemistry packages is 2-5 days in the lab.
Dairyland Laboratories offers one of the industry’s widest offerings of chemistry analysis including traditional proximates, fermentation and fatty acid profiles, in vitro analysis of NDF, starch, and protein digestibility, in vitro gas production, mineral, mold, yeast, toxin, soil, and water analysis.
**Prices Effective August 1, 2019.
