Does anyone send off their feed to be analysed.
I am fed up with different reps saying this and tat and do wonder who is telling the truth.

Feed analysis should be readily available on each batch of feed. If whats on the label is incorrect or dishonest then they’d be in severe breach of trading standards and liable to lose their trading license as a result.

Have done here before. What always seems to amaze me is how sheep feed has an ME of 13.5 (claimed). That`s OK until you look at the ingredient list - then you discover LOTS of ingredients well below the magic 13.5 figure? How do they do it????
