Endophyte Service Laboratory
We test feed materials for ergovaline, lolitrem B, and ergot alkaloids. For some test types, rush processing is available. Registered clients can use the "Commercial Client Log-In" link to submit samples for endophyte mycotoxin testing in a variety of feed substances and retrieve results once they are available. The website recently underwent a renovation, so returning clients will need to reset their password to log in. At this time, we are asking that all samples be submitted by dropping off in the sample bin of the Oak Creek Building parking lot or through the mail and not via in-person drop-off. USPS, UPS and FedEx will all deliver mail to our lab address:
