A feed testing [[laboratory]] can operate within a number of different production, research and development (R&D&#59; academic and industry), and [[public health]] contexts. They can<ref name="WardObtain24">{{cite web |url=https://animal.ifas.ufl.edu/media/animalifasufledu/dairy-website/ruminant-nutrition-symposium/archives/12.-WardRNS2024.pdf |format=PDF |author=Ward, R. |title=Obtaining value from a feed/forage lab engagement |work=Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium |date=27 February 2024 |accessdate=28 May 2024}}</ref>:

*develop informative databases and data libraries for researchers;
*manage in-house and remote sample collection, labeling, and registration, including on farms; and
*report accurate and timely results to stakeholders, including those responsible for monitoring public health.
This wide variety of roles within these major contexts highlights several aspects of the labs operating in the animal feed sector. First, like the more human-based food and beverage industry, the types of testing will vary based upon the context. From R&D and pre-production optimization and [[quality assurance]] (QA) to production and post-production [[quality control]] (QC) and regulatory safety, analytical workflows can differ, sometimes significantly, in the food and beverage industry.<ref name="DouglasFoodBevTest22">{{cite web |url=https://www.limswiki.org/index.php/LIMS_Q%26A:What_types_of_testing_occur_within_a_food_and_beverage_laboratory%3F |title=LIMS Q&A:What types of testing occur within a food and beverage laboratory? |author=Douglas, S.E. |work=LIMSwiki |date=August 2022 |accessdate=11 June 2024}}</ref> This is similarly true for labs in the animal feed industry. As such—regulations and standards aside—we can draw similar parallels in the test types found in feed analysis labs.
Second—and also similar to food and beverage testing<ref name="DouglasFoodBevTest22" />—the roles listed above also highlight the cross-disciplinary nature of analyzing animal feed ingredients and products, and interpreting the resulting data.
