1 Customers are advised that NIR analysis of feed materials is an indirect determination.

2 High nitrate concentrations in feed and water may have adverse effects on livestock. Nitrate levels of 0.5% nitrate (NO3, dry matter basis) in the total ration may result in symptoms. Nitrate levels near or greater than 1% may cause death. For more information on nitrate problems contact you animal nutritionist.
