History
Dairyland Laboratories was founded in 1958 by Glen Reit as a commercial butterfat testing lab in Whitehall, Wisconsin. In 1959, it moved to its current headquarters in Arcadia, Wisconsin. Over the decades, it expanded services: in the 1960s, a satellite lab opened in Marshfield; in the 1970s, chemistry mineral analysis for feeds was introduced; in the 1980s, NIR testing for feeds began. In the 2000s, it developed Corn Silage Processing Scores with USDA-FRC, In Vitro NDFDs, and barcoding. In the 2010s, it added fatty acid profiles, ash-free NDFs, and a purpose-built Digestion Lab. In the 2020s, it introduced amino acid profiles, LC-MS/MS mycotoxins, and software as a service for labs.
