Complete Agriculture Testing Services
LAS offers testing for many varieties of samples. Feeds, forages, and grains; soils, greenhouse media, fertilizer, manure and lime; water, plant tissue, and even lawn and garden testing. We do it all!
Litchfield Analytical Services was founded in 1982 to provide feed and forage analysis services for livestock producers, nutritionists, feed dealers, and feed manufacturers. We have offered both Wet Chemistry and Near Infrared Reflectance Spectrophotometry (NIRS) procedures since 1984. The agronomy department was added in 1998.
Our staff is trained and experienced in feed mycotoxin, soil, plant tissue, manure, greenhouse media, fertilizer, lime, and water analysis, which ensure accurate and reliable results. We use modern, well maintained, and daily calibrated equipment to perform valid analytical procedures as prescribed by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Standard Operating Procedures include precautions to prevent contamination and provide a safe working environment.
