ISO 12099 Near Infrared Spectroscopy for Nutrient Profiling
The ISO 12099 standard is a cornerstone in feed nutrient analysis, offering an efficient and precise method to determine the nutritional composition of animal feeds. This service utilizes near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology to analyze various nutrients present in feed samples. NIRS works by measuring the light absorption at different wavelengths within the near-infrared region, which helps correlate specific chemical bonds with nutrient content.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 12099 guidelines, ensuring that our results are accurate, repeatable, and compliant. This approach is particularly beneficial in quality management as it allows for consistent monitoring of feed formulations. For compliance officers, this service provides a robust framework to ensure regulatory adherence, especially when dealing with feed safety regulations like those set by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) or World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).
In R&D environments, ISO 12099 NIRS is invaluable for optimizing formulations. By providing real-time nutrient data, it enables researchers to fine-tune compositions based on actual feed ingredient profiles. For procurement departments, this service ensures that the highest-quality raw materials are sourced by validating supplier claims.
The process begins with meticulous sample preparation, which involves homogenizing feed samples and ensuring they meet the ISO 12099 specifications for moisture content and particle size. Once prepared, these samples undergo rapid analysis using our state-of-the-art NIR spectrometers. The system captures spectra data that are then analyzed against a spectral library to determine nutrient concentrations.
The output of this process is comprehensive reports detailing the levels of essential nutrients such as protein, fat, fiber, and ash content. These reports not only meet but often exceed international standards like ISO 12099:2014 for feed analysis. Our team provides detailed interpretations alongside these reports, offering actionable insights to clients.
By leveraging advanced NIR technology, we ensure that our clients receive reliable and accurate nutrient profiles, which are crucial for maintaining animal health and performance. This service is particularly advantageous in large-scale operations where precision and efficiency are paramount. It also supports sustainability efforts by minimizing waste through optimized feed formulations.
The benefits of ISO 12099 NIRS extend beyond immediate operational advantages. Regular analysis helps identify trends over time, enabling proactive adjustments to feeding practices. This not only enhances animal welfare but also contributes positively to environmental stewardship by reducing resource consumption and waste generation.
