Optimising animal nutrition starts with understanding what goes into your livestock’s diet. DIT Lab provides high-quality testing and analysis to give you the insights you need to fine-tune feed and water quality, to create a more profitable, efficient, and sustainable livestock operation.
Water is one of the most essential nutrient for livestock, directly impacting performance and well-being. Analyse key factors such as pH, hardness, dissolved solids, LSI and nutrient concentrations (N, S, P, etc.) to ensure optimal water quality. These insights help prevent issues that could compromise productivity and assess the efficiency of supplements delivered through drinking water.
Forage is the backbone of extensive livestock systems. Analyse crude protein, energy, fibre, minerals, and moisture levels in your pasture to support optimal supplementation, reduce feed costs, and improve performance. Our lab also tests dietary ingredients like grains, meals, and flours, supporting both total mixed rations (feedlots) and supplementary feeding (loose lick).
Understanding nutrient absorption is key to maximising feed efficiency. Using faecal NIR analysis, we assess digestibility to refine feed formulations, and achieve better growth rates and production outcomes.
Leverage our advanced nutrition testing to:
✔ Increase productivity and feed efficiency – leading to higher profitability
✔ Improve supplementation strategies to prevent nutritional deficiencies – tailoring your herd’s diet to meet their precise needs
✔ Reduce waste and costs – use accurate testing to fine-tune feed formulations and maximise resource use
✔ Monitor and prevent health issues – ensure animals consume nutrients as aligned to your production goals
✔ Make data-driven decisions backed by scientific analysis to optimise nutritional management.
