Maximize Yield and Reduce Costly Fertilizer Application

Quick and Reliable Results, Easy to Use, Environmentally Benign

Use the NECi Nitrate Test Kit for Livestock Feed to prevent livestock toxicity from excess nitrate, often caused by drought conditions.  Obtain accurate and reliable results in less than an hour.  These enzyme based test kits are non-toxic and environmentally benign.

Drought may lead to excess nitrate uptake leading to toxicity

The USDA maintains a "US Drought Map" showing areas of concern. View HERE.

Test for nitrate levels in wet livestock feed (green chop, standing hay, and silage) to check for nitrate toxicity.  Drought may cause stress in plants, encouraging excess nitrate uptake.  Too much nitrate may lead to illness or even death in livestock, especially pregnant and lactating animals or young animals.  

Use this kit where sap or a wet extract is available.  This kit will detect 0 - 9000 ppm nitrate (0 - 2000 ppm nitrate-N or up to 0.9% N).  All you need in addition to this kit is a garlic press or similar apparatus to squeeze plant sap from your samples.  Kits are designed to be easy to use, provide accurate and reliable results, and contain no toxic materials.  

Choose from kit packs for 5, 10, 25, or 50 samples.
