Forage analysis plays a vital role in feeding and management decisions. Understanding the analysis process and being able to interpret sample results will help farmers better utilise their forage – reducing waste and increasing productivity.
To find out more about the analysis process itself, we spoke to Ruth Lawson, technical manager at Carr’s Billington, independent nutritionist Hefin Richards of Rumenation Nutrition Consultancy and David Atherton who runs Thomson and Joseph, an independent forage analysis business.
He and his team handle sample logistics between farm and lab and, importantly, provide an interpretation of what the data means for farmers.
