• Samples currently arrive from three different continents: North America, Europe, and Asia. Instrumentation(NIR and X-ray) analyses is completed the same day as sample arrival (by 8 p.m. CST) and, if needed, any remaining wet chemistry is performed & completed by 8 a.m. the following day. All calibrations are produced, maintained and managed by Agri-King. Most other labs have outsourced their calibration sets. • • • Agri-King was the first to analyse, calibrate and predict amino acids by NIR technology (1987-88) for corn and soybean samples. Agri-King was the first to analyse, calibrate and predict individual sugars of forages on a routine basis (2008). Up to 60 individual analyses can be performed on some sample matrices.
• • Agri-King was the first to apply this technology for the mineral analysis of forages and grains (1984). XRF is currently used to predict 12 elements (Al, Ca, Cl, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S and Zn) of forages and grains. XRF has enabled Agri-King to use direct anion/cation • • • Nitrate-nitrogen testing is performed on all forage samples. Individual sugar testing is available. Amino acid testing is available on grains and forages. balancing of every diet since the early 1990s. • Water testing. Farms are recommended to test their water at least annually. • General Sample Analysis • Specialized Lab Services • • • • • • • IVDMD (Live Artificial Rumens) NDFd-30 (Cell Wall Digestibility) Lignin Starch Fermentation Analysis (VFA and pH) Nitrates Mycotoxins • • • • • Association of American Feed Control Officials American Association of Oil Chemists American Chemical Society (ACS) Association of Official Analytical Chemist (AOAC) National Forage Testing Association: NIR & Wet Chemistry Certification • • • • • • Protein Fractions Fibre Analysis Amino Acids Water Analysis Elemental Analysis Complete TMR Analysis • North America Proficiency Testing Association
