Free DCAD Analysis!

CVAS is partnering with Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition to provide free DCAD testing on forages.  As part of this program, you are allowed to submit three forage samples per dairy operation for free DCAD testing.

This is how the program works:

1)   Valid on three forage samples per dairy operation.

2)   An NIR or Chemistry package must be requested with chemistry minerals (view services listing).

3)   Request the DCAD (S, Cl) option.

4)   Go to the Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition web site to print coupons http://www.ahdairy.com/ForageTestingProgram2009/.

5)   One coupon must accompany each forage sample.

6)   If you do not have an account with us, provide account information along with the samples.  A new account form is available at http://www.foragelab.com/pdf/app-new-account.pdf.
