Brookings, SD – Twenty-two veterinarians at 20 clinics are now trained and certified to do the nitrate QuikTest on standing forages.

Producers should take standing forage that has been cut at ground level to SDSU Extension locations or veterinary clinics that have the testing available. Such crops include milo, corn, millet, sudan, soybeans, etc.

The test does not work on corn that has already been chopped for silage. In this situation the sample would need to be sent to a lab for quantitative analysis.
