We are obliged to create retention samples in sufficient quantity. Therefore, the sample quantity is to be doubled if necessary.

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
  • neutrality

Instructions for feed sampling can be found HERE.

We will also be happy to provide you with packaging material for your sample free of charge.
