UKDRS & KDA Forage Testing Program
The Forage Testing Program, offered by the UK Division of Regulatory Services (UKDRS), provides essential nutritional analysis for Kentucky forage producers. This data supports livestock producers in formulating balanced rations for their animals, promoting better health and productivity. By testing forage, producers can assess its market value, monitor quality changes over time, and make informed decisions for both selling and feeding purposes. Ultimately, forage testing helps producers reduce costs and enhance production efficiency.
