In times when, the cost of a farm’s inputs, has substantially increased and at the same time health and food safety specifications have become considerably strict, our lab can consist a credible and valuable partner to every farmer.
A simple soil analysis can contribute both in the rationalization of the use of fertilizers with resulting cost reductions, but also to the protection of the environment by preventing pointless use of chemicals.
In the case of animal husbandry a simple analysis of animal feed compound or raw materials (maize, wheat, soya etc) can help the farmer, to monitor the quality of the purchased or manufactured animal feed and thus achieve the maximum outcome in terms of cost and food safety.
