Feed Logic is a nation-wide, hay, silage, pasture and grain quality testing service provided by Livestock Logic. We accurately assess the quality of your feed before you feed it, buy it or sell it using the latest in near infrared (NIR) technology and all from our modern, state of the art laboratory in Hamilton. We are Australian Fodder Industry Association (AFIA) accredited and participate in quality assurance ‘ring testing’ with other laboratories across Australia to ensure we deliver consistent and accurate results consistent with industry guidelines.
Testing your feed will help you make informed decisions on:
- The ability of the feed to meet the nutritional requirements of the livestock
- Calculating feed rations
- Budgeting for feed gaps
If you are purchasing feed in, remember to have it tested so you know what you are getting.

What parameters do we test?
Our feed analysis package is uniform across most feed types and we provide you with relevant and useful information that directly relates to livestock production. These parameters include dry matter (DM), Digestibility (DDM & DOMD), Metabolisable Energy (ME), Crude Protein (CP), Fibres (NDF & ADF), Sugars (WSC) and Ash. For grains, parameters such as bulk density, starch and Crude Fibre (CF) are also included. Please click here to download our definitions page. We can analyse samples for other parameters as required. Please call us today to discuss your testing requirements!
What types of feed do we test?
Virtually, any type of feed can be tested by NIR spectroscopy. We concentrate mainly on feed types that are used by the agricultural sector – particularly livestock feeds. These include the more common types including hay, silage, pasture and grain but processed / pelleted feeds, feed by-products, mixed / feedlot rations and pre-prepared feeds can all be analysed.
