Sample Collection & Preparation
Ensuring a representative sample is crucial for accurate analysis. This section covers proper collection and preparation techniques.
Field Notes - Location & Conditions
GPS Coordinates of Sample Site
Date of Sample Collection
Time of Sample Collection
Number of Subsamples Combined
Plant Species Present (Select All That Apply)
Detailed Description of Sample Appearance (Color, Smell, Presence of Mold)
Photo of Sample in Field (Optional)
Nutrient Analysis - Dry Matter (DM)
Determining the dry matter content is foundational. It's used to convert all other nutrient values to a dry matter basis.
Initial Weight of Sample (as received)
Weight of Sample After Drying (constant weight)
Dry Matter Percentage (%)
Drying Method Used (e.g., oven temperature, duration)
Drying Oven Temperature (°C)
Drying Time (hours)
Notes on Drying Process (e.g., any deviations from standard procedure)
Nutrient Analysis - Major Components
Analysis of key nutrients like Crude Protein (CP), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), and Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN).
Crude Protein (CP) %
Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) %
Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) %
Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) %
Lignin Content %
Ash Content %
Forage Species (Primary)
Notes on Appearance/Odor/Condition
Nutrient Analysis - Minerals
Assessment of essential mineral content, impacting animal health and performance.
Calcium (Ca) Concentration (ppm)
Phosphorus (P) Concentration (ppm)
Magnesium (Mg) Concentration (ppm)
Potassium (K) Concentration (ppm)
Sulfur (S) Concentration (ppm)
Copper (Cu) Concentration (ppm)
Zinc (Zn) Concentration (ppm)
Iron (Fe) Concentration (ppm)
Manganese (Mn) Concentration (ppm)
Mineral Deficiency Concerns (Select all that apply)
Nutrient Analysis - Vitamins
Analysis of vitamins, though often less critical than major nutrients, can provide valuable information (optional).
Which Vitamins are to be analyzed?
Requested Detection Limit (ppm) for Vitamin A (if applicable)
Requested Detection Limit (ppm) for Vitamin D (if applicable)
Requested Detection Limit (ppm) for Vitamin E (if applicable)
Special Instructions for Vitamin Analysis (if any)
Units of Measurement for Results
Palatability & Digestibility Assessment (Optional)
Evaluating factors that impact how readily animals consume and digest the forage. Often based on lab techniques or estimations.
Visual Assessment of Appearance
Olfactory Assessment (Smell)
Leaf:Stem Ratio (Estimate)
Presence of Weeds/Foreign Materials
Maturity Stage (Estimate)
Notes on Animal Acceptance (if observed)
Data Interpretation & Reporting
Understanding the results and creating a clear report to guide forage management decisions.
Summary of Key Findings
Dry Matter Percentage (%)
Crude Protein (CP) Percentage (%)
Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) Percentage (%)
Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) Percentage (%)
Overall Forage Quality Rating (e.g., Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor)
Recommendations for Management (e.g., fertilization, grazing strategy)
Date of Report
Quality Control & Assurance
Ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the analysis through proper procedures and lab accreditation.
Laboratory Accreditation Status
If not ISO 17025, Explain Accreditation/Quality Program
Replicate Analysis Coefficient of Variation (CV)
Standard Reference Material Usage
Last Calibration Date (Analytical Equipment)
Describe Calibration Procedures
Calibration Certificates (If Applicable)
