Comprehensive Nutrient Profile Testing in Animal Feed
At Eurolab, we understand that ensuring optimal health and performance of livestock is paramount. Our Comprehensive Nutrient Profile Testing in Animal Feed service offers a robust solution for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams looking to enhance the nutritional integrity and safety of their products. This service goes beyond basic nutrient analysis; it provides detailed insights into essential elements that influence animal health, growth rates, and overall productivity.
The process begins with a thorough examination of raw materials used in feed formulation, ensuring that all ingredients meet stringent quality standards. Our state-of-the-art laboratories employ advanced instrumentation like Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for accurate measurement of trace elements, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for lipid profiling, and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for detailed carbohydrate analysis. These methods are compliant with international standards such as ISO 17025.
Our team of experts meticulously prepares samples according to industry best practices, ensuring that each sample is representative of the feed batch being tested. This includes grinding and homogenization followed by appropriate dilution or extraction techniques depending on the type of nutrient being analyzed. We adhere strictly to protocols outlined in methods such as AOAC International (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) for precise results.
The comprehensive nature of our testing extends beyond just the presence of nutrients; it also includes evaluating potential contaminants and mycotoxins, which can significantly impact animal health if present at harmful levels. Using techniques like Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), we ensure that even trace amounts are detected. Compliance with regulations such as EU Directive 2018/843 on feed additives is a priority for us.
Once all tests are completed, our laboratory produces detailed reports tailored to the needs of our clients. These reports provide not only quantitative data but also qualitative assessments based on our interpretations of the results. This information can be crucial in formulating feeds that meet specific nutritional requirements or addressing any deficiencies identified during testing.
Our approach ensures that every aspect of nutrient profiling is covered, from initial sample preparation through final report generation. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and adhering to rigorous standards, we provide reliable data that supports informed decision-making processes within the feed industry.
