Laboratory Analyses For Wildlife/domestic Animals
Chemical Nutritional Analysis: (plant, fecal or urine material)
Results reported on an oven-dry basis unless requested otherwise.
We strongly recommend research projects anticipating publication of results consider analysis of replicate samples. An intake fee of $2.39 per sample will be charged for samples not organized and numbered sequentially.
Note: We require a minimum of 1 dry gram of sample for each type of analysis. All samples require an oven dry matter done only once to cover all other types of analyses performed.
Please note that we no longer perform Food Habits – Diet Composition Analysis.
