Assuring Quality & Nutrition

At Southern Mallee Lucerne, we don’t just grow hay—we test it. Every batch of hay we produce is subjected to independent feed tests to guarantee consistency, reliability, and premium quality for our customers.

Why Feed Testing Matters

Different cuts, weather conditions, and soil types can all influence the nutritional content of hay. By using feed tests, we take out the guesswork and provide accurate data on:

• Protein levels – ensuring your animals get the right balance of nutrition.
• Energy values (ME/DE) – for performance, growth, and conditioning.
• Fibre content (ADF/NDF) – critical for digestion and animal health.
• Moisture levels – to confirm safe storage and reduce spoilage risk.

Transparency for Our Customers

We provide feed test results on request, so you know exactly what you’re buying. Whether you’re feeding stud horses, dairy cattle, or livestock with specific dietary needs, our hay is backed by science—not just appearance.

Consistency Through Innovation

By combining feed testing with our advanced farming practices—such as drone mapping, NDVI analysis, precision watering, and steaming technology—we deliver hay that not only looks premium but performs consistently in animal diets.
