Evaluating Feed Components and Finished Feeds: Part 1

Ingredient quality is the foundation upon which an animal ration is built. Therefore, establishing an ingredient quality evaluation program is an essential component of a successful feed processing operation. Routine evaluation of finished feed quality will help ensure that proper ingredient storage, proportioning, grinding, and mixing were performed. This bulletin contains information pertaining to ingredient specifications, suggestions on which feed ingredient and finished feed properties should be analyzed, types of assays to perform, and how to interpret lab results. The first step in evaluating ingredients and finished feed quality involves collecting a representative sample as described in the bulletin, Sampling: Procedures for Feed (Herrman 2001).
