ISO 37843 Fumonisin Detection in Compound Feed
Fumonisins are toxic metabolites produced by specific Fusarium species, which can contaminate food and feed crops. The presence of fumonisins in compound feeds poses significant health risks to livestock due to their nephrotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and carcinogenic potential. ISO 37843 provides a standardized method for detecting fumonisins in compound feed, ensuring that feed safety standards are met.
The protocol outlined in ISO 37843 involves the extraction of fumonisins from the compound feed sample followed by chromatographic separation and quantification. This process ensures accurate detection and quantification even at very low levels, which is crucial for maintaining animal health and preventing contamination risks that could affect production efficiency.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 37843 guidelines ensuring precision, accuracy, and reliability in detecting fumonisins. We employ state-of-the-art equipment such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for sensitive and specific quantification of these toxins.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated, especially considering the increasing global demand for safe and reliable feed products. By leveraging ISO 37843 methodology, we contribute significantly towards safeguarding livestock health and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Our laboratory has extensive experience in handling complex matrix samples like compound feeds, ensuring consistent results across multiple batches. This expertise allows us to deliver accurate data that can help stakeholders make informed decisions regarding feed safety compliance.
