Agriculture, Food Industry & Feed

We provide accredited testing and professional support for farms, agricultural producers, food-processing companies and feed manufacturers.

What We Offer

We provide the agricultural and food sector with comprehensive accredited analytical services — from soil fertility diagnostics and fertilizer or compost quality evaluation to the chemical and microbiological testing of feeds, silages and agricultural products. We also analyse irrigation water, farm wells, digestate, substrates and biogas plant by-products, and support clients with expert interpretation for audits, certifications and regulatory compliance. Our work helps farms and food producers improve yields, enhance feed quality, meet legislative requirements and maintain safe, high-performing production processes.

What We Test

To support farms, food producers and feed manufacturers, we test a wide range of agricultural materials. Below is an overview of the most important groups we analyse to help ensure healthy crops, safe feed and efficient farm operation.

Soils & Fertilizers

  • Soil pH, buffering capacity

  • Nutrient availability (P, K, Mg, Ca, etc.)

  • Organic matter / organic carbon

  • Heavy metals and selected contaminants

  • Macronutrients and micronutrients in fertilizers

  • Stability, maturity and compliance indicators for composts

Feeds & Agricultural Products

  • Nutritional composition of feeds
  • Protein, fibre, fat, dry matter and energy content
  • Minerals and micronutrients
  • Silage fermentation parameters (pH, lactic acid, VFAs)
  • Microbiological indicators where relevant
  • Quality checks for crops and plant materials

Water & Biogas Plant Materials

  • Agricultural well and irrigation water

  • Process water used in farms and food production

  • Digestate, substrates and materials for land application

  • Key agronomic, chemical and hygienic parameters

Typical Situations When You Contact Us

Clients reach out to us when:

Soil needs to be evaluated before planting or fertilisation.

We perform nutrient analysis and provide clear indicators for optimal fertiliser planning.

Silages show signs of poor fermentation or unstable quality.

We analyse fermentation profiles and help diagnose reasons for nutrient loss or spoilage.

Purchased feed materials require verification of declared quality.

We test nutritional composition to support quality control and supplier evaluation.

A farm needs monitoring of irrigation or well water.

We analyse chemical and microbiological parameters important for safe agricultural use.

Digestate or substrates must meet requirements for land application.

We provide accredited testing relevant for manure management and environmental regulations.

A food-processing or agricultural operation needs documentation for audits.

Our accredited results are accepted for regulatory reports, certifications and internal QA.
