Forage analysis is used to measure the quality of hay and grazed crops. Establishing a fair market value for forages, whether you are buying or selling, is important. Our analysis packages are designed to give you the nutritional and quality information you need to make informed decisions when buying or selling hay. ServiTech Laboratories can also test summer annual forages for nitrate toxicity and prussic acid hazards.
