Dellait, a leading global animal nutrition company, announced the opening of a new laboratory in Brooking, South Dakota. The new laboratory will allow the company to enhance feed & forage analytical services and expertise for cattle and crop farmers in Brookings and throughout the region.
The new state-of-the-art facility located in the South Dakota State University Research Park features new capabilities and equipment for performing high-quality and efficient testing — creating more robust lab offerings for the ag community. The laboratory includes NIR and wet chemistry equipment to process a high volume of samples and ensure the highest standards of accuracy and quality. In addition, the laboratory underscores Dellait’s commitment to South Dakota and builds on its strong presence in the state.
“There is tremendous variation in nutrient composition between different feeds; even within a feed ingredient, there is potential for significant variation in composition. Knowing the nutrient composition of feeds and matching feeds to animal needs at a given stage of production allow us to warrant that nutritional requirements are met,” said Fernando Diaz, Dellait’s Dairy Nutritionist & CEO. “Our customers can depend on us to provide one of the industry’s most comprehensive sets of feed labs services”.
“Dellait’s growth and evolution throughout the years has brought new ways of understanding the science of animal feeds and feeding technologies. Commitment, passion, and quality through science have been critical to the success behind our work. This new lab facility with leading-edge technology and equipment, and a skilled team will propel our company’s ability to conduct research, and identify solutions to the main cattle industry challenges,” said Dr. Nuria Garcia, Dellait’s Laboratory Manager and R&D Director.
