Fodder laboratories make analysis specifically using different methods, devices and equipment. Thesearticle is devoted fundamental principle in work of laboratories on fodder quality evaluation — to maximally exact fulfillment of the standardized procedures of estimation of the forage nutrients and antinutrients content. It is necessary to consider as the important problem unification of methods of estimation of the nutrients content in forages, preliminarily having carried out objective comparative researches on purpose to find out, how much adequate the methods of analysis reflect a true quality of forages.
