ISO 40539 Multi-Mycotoxin Screening in Poultry Feed
The ISO 40539 standard provides a robust framework for multi-mycotoxin screening in feedstuffs, including poultry feed. This service ensures that feed products are safe and free from harmful mycotoxins, which can have severe adverse health effects on poultry and other livestock when present at high concentrations.
The ISO 40539 methodology is particularly critical for the food & feed testing sector as it addresses a significant global challenge in animal nutrition. Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain molds, primarily Aspergillus, Fusarium, and Penicillium. These contaminants can arise from improper storage conditions or environmental factors during production, processing, or transportation.
The standard covers a wide range of mycotoxins that are known to pose risks in poultry feed. It includes the detection of aflatoxins (Afla), zearalenone (ZEN), fumonisins (FUM), trichothecenes (T-2 toxin, DON), and others. The service involves a comprehensive analysis using advanced analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This approach ensures high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for accurate quantification of multiple mycotoxins simultaneously.
The specimen preparation process is crucial to the accuracy of the test. Samples are typically ground into a fine powder using appropriate machinery before extraction in a solvent. The extract is then purified and concentrated if necessary before analysis by LC-MS/MS. This ensures that all components of the feed matrix can be effectively analyzed, providing reliable results.
The ISO 40539 methodology sets strict thresholds for acceptable levels of mycotoxins in poultry feed to ensure animal health and welfare. Compliance with these standards is essential for maintaining a high standard of food safety and quality. The service also includes reporting of findings, including detailed analysis of the presence and concentration of each mycotoxin detected.
Regular testing using ISO 40539 ensures that feed manufacturers can identify and mitigate potential risks early in the supply chain. This proactive approach helps to avoid costly recalls and reputational damage associated with contaminated products. Additionally, it supports sustainability practices by reducing waste and ensuring efficient resource use.
