ISO 164391 Protein and Amino Acid Profiling in Piglet Diets
The ISO 164391 standard provides a robust framework for the analysis of protein and essential amino acids in piglet diets. This service is particularly valuable for ensuring that piglets receive adequate nutrition, which is critical for their growth and health. The analysis covers not only the total protein content but also the specific types of amino acids required for optimal development.
The primary focus of this test is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the nutritional profile of feed formulations tailored for piglet diets. This includes identifying key components such as lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, and others that are crucial during early growth stages. By profiling these elements, we ensure that the diet meets stringent standards set by international guidelines like ISO 164391.
The methodology employed in this service adheres strictly to ISO 164391, which specifies a precise procedure for extracting and quantifying proteins and amino acids from feed samples. This involves several steps: sample preparation, extraction using appropriate solvents, derivatization where necessary, followed by analysis via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HPLC technique allows for the separation of different amino acids based on their chemical properties.
The results generated through this process are highly accurate and reliable. They provide detailed information about the presence and concentration levels of various amino acids in the feed, helping stakeholders make informed decisions regarding nutrition and formulation adjustments. This level of detail is essential when dealing with the unique nutritional needs of piglets.
Understanding protein quality and quantity in piglet diets is pivotal for maintaining animal health and productivity. Poorly balanced diets can lead to deficiencies or excesses that affect growth rates, feed efficiency, and overall welfare. By conducting this analysis, we help ensure that any potential issues are identified early on, allowing for timely adjustments.
Moreover, compliance with international standards such as ISO 164391 enhances the credibility of your products in both domestic markets and internationally. It demonstrates a commitment to quality assurance and adherence to best practices within the industry.
This service is ideal for quality managers looking to maintain consistent product quality, R&D engineers seeking data-driven insights into formulation improvements, or procurement teams aiming to source high-quality ingredients consistently.

Quality and Reliability Assurance
The integrity of our testing services is paramount to us. We employ stringent quality control measures throughout each step of the process, from sample receipt to final report generation. Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 164391 guidelines, ensuring that all analyses are conducted under controlled conditions.
Sample preparation plays a critical role in obtaining accurate results. Samples undergo rigorous cleaning procedures followed by precise weighing and dilution if necessary. Once prepared, samples are then subjected to extraction methods specified by the standard, which may vary depending on the type of feed being analyzed.
The extraction process typically involves using solvents like water or methanol, sometimes with additional reagents for specific amino acids. After extraction, samples proceed through derivatization steps if required, followed by injection into the HPLC system. This step separates individual components allowing for their identification and quantification.
Data acquisition from the HPLC system is performed meticulously, ensuring that all peaks are accurately recorded. Post-acquisition data processing involves integration of peak areas to calculate concentrations based on calibration standards prepared beforehand. These calibrations are regularly validated against known reference materials.
Our commitment extends beyond just meeting the technical requirements outlined in ISO 164391 but also includes transparent communication with clients regarding any deviations from expected results or unforeseen challenges encountered during analysis. This ensures that every client receives not only reliable data but also a thorough explanation of its implications for their specific applications.
By choosing our service, you are selecting a partner committed to maintaining high standards in all aspects of feed testing and quality assurance.
