Servi-Tech Partnership - Dairyland Laboratories, Inc.

Servi-Tech Laboratories has
partnered with Dairyland
Laboratories to provide timely,
superior analysis of feeds and forages in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and all throughout the Midwest.
Servi-Tech Laboratories provide an
average one-day turnaround time
on NIR and wet chemistry after
we receive your samples. On the
back, you will find a list of the NIR
packages that we will be able to
provide.
Below is a list of drop-off locations
throughout north Texas. We also
offer Return Service labels through
UPS, so you can ship your samples
in!
For your wet chemistry needs

analysis
Term
What it Means
Moisture
pH
Measured by loss on drying
Related to the quality/extent of fermentation for ensilage feeds
CP
Total Nirogen x 6.25
Acid Detergent Insoluble Crude Protein –
an indicator of indigestible protein and heat damage
AD-ICP
Calculations
NFC
RFV
RFQ
ADF
Energies
Non-Fiber Carbohydrates - calculated by difference
Relative Feed Value – calculated using ADF and NDF
Relative Forage Quality – calculated using ADF, NDF, and NDFD
Calculated using simple regressions based on ADF content
ND-ICP
(w/o
Na2SO3)
Neutral Detergent Insoluble Crude Protein without
sodium sulfite. An indication of NDF bound protein
which is slowly and incompletely digested. Used in some
CNCPS programs to calculate protein pool sizes.
OARDC
Energies
Summative Energy using proximate analyses and
lignin as an indication of fiber digestibility
Equine
Energies
Equine TDN and Digestible Energy
Soluble
Protein
ADF
Buffer Borate soluble protein
Van
Amburgh
kd rate
NDF digestion rate based on a single NDFD time point
and lignin. For CNCPS inputs pair
Van Amburgh kd rate with lignin (sulfuric acid).
Lignin
Sulfuric Acid Lignin
NDF digestion rate based on uNDF240 and multiple
NDFD time points. For CNCPS inputs pair MIR kd rates
with uNDF240 or Lignin Input (uNDF240/2.4).
uNDF240
Undigested NDF at 240 hours in vitro. Related to dry
matter intake and gut fill. An important input for
NDF digestion rate calculations and
CNCPS based ration balancing.
MIR kd rate
NDR
aNDF + ½ ND-ICP. An input for
CPM and early CNCPS based models.
Ether
Extract
A crude estimate of fat content that also includes non-fat
components like pigments, vitamins, and urea.
Fatty acids in forages range from 55-85% of Ether Extract
Lignin Input
Designed to assist in utilizing uNDF240 and
MIR kd rates in CNCPS based models that
do not allow for direct input of uNDF240.
Pet Ether
Extract
Petroleum Ether Extract –
Recommended fat analysis for distillers grains from the
American Feed Industry Association
TFA
Total Fatty Acids – A direct measurement of fatty acids
Ash
All inorganic material in a sample
Starch
Starch analysis based on the latest methods from Mary Beth Hall.
Sugar
Ethanol Soluble Carbohydrates
Acid Detergent Fiber
(uNDF240/2.0)
