Feedstuff analyses livestock

Complete analyses

Here you will find our basic analysis packages for various feedstuffs. We refer to these packages as "complete analyses", since the most important raw nutrients and analysis parameters are included, depending on the type of the feedstuff.

The fields highlighted in light green and checked in the table, indicate in relation to the header line that the analysis parameter is included in the analysis package basic.

New price list

Please note that a new pricelist for our analyses will apply at LKS mbH from April 2024. We will be happy to provide you with these upon request.

Our feedstuff analytics livestock

As a DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and DIN ISO 9001 certified laboratory, we offer a variety of different feed analyses for all types of livestock.

You will find a large part of our analyses in the above headings and boxes. If you still cannot find the analysis you are looking for, please call us - we will be happy to advise you.

That's what we stand for:

  • high quality in analytics
  • short analytics time 
  • most modern analysis methods
  • comprehensive range of analyses
  • very good price-performance ratio
