With expertise, facilities, and a variety of available services, Wenger Feeds Laboratory Services can be a valuable resource for your business. We offer competitive prices with quick turn around and fast results.

Good Water Quality Improves Health & Performance

Wenger Feeds’ lab offers an array of water tests including hardness, pH, iron, nitrates, sulfates, E.coli, and total coliform.
Proper Ph improves bird health and flock performance. Likewise, water with high nitrate and coliform levels can harm bird health and performance. Sterile water collection bottles are provided.

Feed and Ingredient Testing

By testing the nutrient profile of your grain, you can more accurately formulate your feed avoiding costly over-formulation or potentially harmful under-formulation. Analysis is completed with NIR spectroscopy. This service is available for most commonly used bulk feed ingredients. NIR can be especially useful for those who use concentrate programs.

Other feed analyses including particle size, pellet durability, moisture, and salt are also available to support any quality assurance program. If you need wet chemistry analysis, we will package your sample to refer to an outside lab for protein, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, fat, urease activity, trypsin inhibitor, pesticide, protein, fat, fiber, calcium, or moisture testing.

Mycotoxin Testing

Mycotoxin testing is available for Aflatoxin, T-2 Toxins, DON (Vomitoxin), Fumonisin, and Zearalenone. If you’re using your own grain, it can be helpful to know your mycotoxin risk before experiencing mortality or production drops.

Egg Testing

Shell strength, Haugh Units, yolk color, and egg shell thickness tests are available. In addition, egg testing customers get access to our extensive database of results. Egg quality reports feature compiled results compared to other flocks of the same bird strain and age. Wenger’s poultry database contains multiple bird strains and hundreds of individual tests.
By testing your shell strength regularly, you can make adjustments in your feed to prevent soft shells and costly cracks and undergrades.

Flock Health Monitoring

Laboratory Services also offers quick turnaround on serology for Infectious Bronchitis, Newcastle, AE, IBD, MG, and MS. Fast turnaround means that you can address the issue swiftly and avoid potential production drops and mortality.
