Rock River Laboratory Inc. is expanding its presence in South Dakota with a new location in Sioux Falls. This expansion provides enhanced access to reliable feed and forage analysis, crucial tools, and insights tailored for beef and dairy operations in the region. The new lab location takes over the operations of AgLab Forages, which has been serving the Great Plains' nutrition consultants and industry partners for years using Rock River Laboratory’s extensive calibration expertise.
“Mike Barber and his team have done an excellent job serving the Great Plains region, and we hope to build off the foundations they set,” said Zachery Meyer, Rock River Laboratory CEO. “With localized access to additional tools, technical support and expert insights that accompany our analysis results, nutrition consultants and their farms have new means to dial in their herds’ nutrition needs.”
By utilizing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), the lab offers a range of comprehensive analysis options and decision-making tools. “We’re creating opportunities for a new territory of nutritionists and their herds to access accurate data that can showcase ways to improve their bottom lines and help them thrive,” said Dr. John Goeser, animal nutrition, research and innovation director for Rock River Laboratory.
