Understanding Your Lab Report

A modern forage/feed analysis continues to become more complex with the addition of new constituents to NIR calibrations. Cumberland Valley has has put together a document to explain the various report terms that are used in our reports. 

 
This document is put together in two sections.  The first provides information on newer terms and concepts; the second is a more exhaustive review of analytical terms used in feed testing.  This document will provide a quick reference for those experienced in nutrition but not familiar with some of our recent report additions.  The document will be good to support those as well that may be new to feed analysis reports and want basic information.
 
 
To make it convenient for you to view this document a QR code will be added to the bottom of the report that will provide link to the terms. 

 

Corn Silage Processing Score Promotion

As the weather gets colder and we enter the harvest season I thought it would be timely to pass on some information about our fall promotion on Corn Silage Processing Score. For those who are not familiar this test, it will allow you to determine whether corn silage has been adequately processed for maximum utilization of starch.
