None

Sealed, leak-proof plastic bag or container.

If feed samples are wet, freeze and ship overnight to the lab on ice packs to prevent mycotoxin production in transit. If possible, ship samples at the beginning of the week to prevent production of mycotoxins over the weekend. If samples are dry ship when convenient.

This test is performed at the North Dakota State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Fargo, ND. Prices listed for tests performed outside TVMDL may not include referral lab accession fees and are subject to change without notice. A processing and shipping fee is added to all referral tests. Turnaround times vary depending on shipping time and the referral lab’s schedule.
