CFA is the only feed assessor in Canterbury to provide full chain of custody for crop samples.

📍Our own IANZ accredited laboratory is conveniently located in Ashburton and run by a dedicated team. From taking a cut in the paddock to delivering the results, the samples enter our lab environment the day they leave the paddock and do not rely on the courier to get results back.

CFA, in collaboration with Dairyland Laboratories, provides NZ access to industry-leading NIR calibrations, offering fast, comprehensive, and cost-effective feed analysis.
