1 Kevin Grooms American Agricultural Lab McCook, Nebraska
Forage Sampling Revisited: Review of the 2011 NFTA/AOAC Workshop Findings Kevin Grooms American Agricultural Lab McCook, Nebraska 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

2 Abstract Forage Testing is Vital for the Evaluation of Hay/Forage Quality Value of feed to animal Value to the farmer/producer Laboratory Analysis is Only As Good As The Sample Taken Sample Must be Representative of the Lot of Hay 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

3 Objectives To Show the Variability Within a Bale
To Show the Variability Between Bales Provide Instruction on Proper Sampling Technique Hands-On Sampling for Better Understanding of the Process Have The Opportunity to Utilize Many Different Probe Types 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

4 Overview Attendees of the Workshop to be Split Into Sampling Groups
Each Group to Choose the Probe Type They Would Use Throughout The Sampling Bales to be Identified by Type Sampling Stations to be Identified Sampling Protocols to be Explained Bales to be Probed and Samples Collected 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

5 What We Had To Work With Bale Types Three 3’x3’ Large Square Bales
Two Large Round Bales 15 Small Square Bales Note – Bale Types Represent Different Lots of Hay. 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

6 Probes Eight Different Probes Types Were Available Frontier Hay Probe
Hart Canister Probe Oakfield Hay Probe Colorado Hay Probe Penn State Sampler Sierra Hay Probe Star Forage Probe Non-Descript Hay Probes 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

9 Methods Attendees Split Into Six Sampling Groups
Six ‘Powered’ Samplers Were Chosen Bale Types Were Explained Sampling Stations Identified per Bale Type Sample Collection and Compositing Explained 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

10 Sampling Protocols Each Sampling Station Consisted of One or More Bales of a Given Bale Type Each Bale Type was Virtually Divided Into Sampling Locations Every Group Would Sample the Same Sampling Location. All Groups to Take a Single Core from a Sampling Location and Composite into One Sample per Sampling Location 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

38 What Does The Data Show? Variability Exists Within Any Given Bale of Hay or Forage Bale to Bale Variation is Significant Between the Two Bales of Each Bale Type 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA

39 What Can Be Concluded? Multiple Samples Must Be Taken to ‘Average Out’ the Variability/Lot of Hay Sampling Points in the Bales Should Be Consistent Throughout The Lot Bales to be Sampled in a Lot Must Be Random to Better Represent the Overall Lot Client/Sampler Education and Certification to Improve Sample Quality 05 June 2018 Copyright 2018 NFTA
