ISO 142453 Ash Residue Profiling in Mixed Animal Feed
The ISO 142453 standard outlines a method for determining ash residue content in mixed animal feed, which is crucial for ensuring nutritional quality and regulatory compliance. This service involves precise analysis to identify the percentage of ash in various types of feeds such as grains, cereals, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and other additives. The process ensures that the final product meets safety standards and provides accurate information on mineral content.
Understanding the composition of feed is essential for formulating balanced diets that meet the nutritional requirements of animals. Ash residue, comprising elements like calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and others, plays a vital role in animal health and growth. By profiling ash content, we can assess feed quality and identify any potential deficiencies or excesses.
The ISO 142453 protocol involves several key steps: sample preparation, digestion, and precise measurement using high-temperature incineration followed by gravimetric analysis. This method ensures accurate quantification of inorganic elements present as ash. The process is robust enough to handle complex mixtures typical in commercial animal feeds.
Accurate determination of ash content helps prevent over-supplementation with minerals, which can lead to health issues for animals and environmental pollution through manure discharge. Conversely, under-supplementation may result in nutritional deficiencies affecting productivity and welfare. Our laboratory adheres strictly to the ISO 142453 standard ensuring reliable results that support informed decision-making by feed manufacturers.
By providing detailed reports on ash residue profiles, we empower clients with actionable insights into their products' mineral content. This information is invaluable for optimizing formulations while maintaining regulatory compliance across different markets and regions.
