For beef and dairy producers looking for access to feed and forage analysis, Rock River Laboratory, Inc. is expanding with a new location in Sioux Falls, S.D.

In a company release, Rock River Laboratory - South Dakota reports it’s taking over the former AgLab Forages, which has served Great Plains nutrition consultants and industry partners using Rock River Laboratory’s deep breadth of calibrations, for years.

“Mike Barber and his team have done an excellent job serving the Great Plains region, and we hope to build off the foundations they set,” shares Zachery Meyer, Rock River Laboratory CEO. “With localized access to additional tools, technical support, and expert insights that accompany our analysis results, nutrition consultants and their farms have new means to dial in their herds’ nutrition needs.”

The lab uses Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), to offer a wide array of comprehensive analysis options and decision-making tools.

“We’re creating opportunities for a new territory of nutritionists and their herds to access accurate data that can showcase ways to improve their bottom lines and help them thrive,” says Dr. John Goeser, animal nutrition, research, and innovation director for Rock River Laboratory.

Rock River Laboratory-South Dakota is now accepting feedstuffs and forages for analysis. Interested parties can set up an account at rockriverlab.com or call 1-844-206-7255. Samples can be dropped off or shipped to: 2601 S. Minnesota Ave., Suite103, Sioux Falls, SD 57105.
