Forage Analysis

Feed and Mineral Analysis

Working closely with the leading UK laboratories, TBA offer a full forage feed and mineral analysis. In order to formulate diets and minerals it is crucial to understand the properties of the feed as every farm is different!

Often forgotten, we also offer a water mineral analysis service. It is important when formulating minerals to know the levels already being consumed.

Manure Analysis

Manure Analysis

The manure sieving process allows us to understand how efficiently the cows are digesting the feed they are consuming. With margins becoming tighter on farms it is imperative that the cost of feeding the cow is being utilised fully.

TMR Analysis

TMR Analysis

TMR is the most common way to feed UK dairy herds these days. Whilst it is critical to ensure the diet is formulated correctly it is also important to check the structure of the TMR as the foundations must be correct in order to build.

The Penn State Separator allows us to measure the distribution of feed and forage particles within your TMR.
