The new proficiency testing season started with a round of grass forage samples in September.
88% of participating labs achieved grades of A (50%) or B (38%), indicating good consistency of results across the range of samples provided, which included some at high dry matter. One lab failed the sample round as not all data for grading was provided and one lab was given a P grade due to experiencing technical issues at the time.
This is a good start to the new season of testing.
