Transforming Hay Management ICP Testing for Maximum Yield and Profitability

When you test minerals in forages and provide animal fed, our new report will show mineral concentrations relative to nutrient requirements. To be useful, a forage analysis report should be based on a representative sample from a single “lot” of hay. (A “lot” is hay from one field which has been. Green chop forage has the highest risk of nitrate toxicity, followed by grazing and then hay. ... hay samples. Iron concentration was measured using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP). Analysis methodology is available ... Over one million acres of alfalfa have been harvested each year in Montana since 1960. Yield and forage quality of alfalfa vary widely across environments and ... A basic nutrient analysis will measure forage moisture, fibre, energy and protein. These figures contribute in balancing the diet and estimating intake levels ... likely to meet the nutrient requirements of horses in high production situations than mature hays. Page 10. Forages. Grass hay. • Common grass hays. There are numerous wet chemistry techniques to separate and identify forage minerals, ranging from an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) technique ... Testing forages allows you to compare your forage against other sources. Most hay auctions and sales require forage quality testing.
