ISO 49601 Energy Balance Analysis in Feed Ingredients
The ISO 49601 standard provides a comprehensive approach to understanding the energy balance within feed ingredients, which is crucial for optimizing animal nutrition and ensuring efficient utilization of nutrients. This service focuses on assessing the calorific value and digestibility of feed components through precise methodologies that are aligned with international standards.
The process involves several stages: sample preparation, moisture determination, gross energy measurement usingbomb calorimeter, and nitrogen-free extract (NFE) calculation. The results yield a detailed energy balance report that includes metabolizable energy (ME), net energy for maintenance (NEm), and other key parameters relevant to animal nutrition.
This service is particularly beneficial for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams working in the food & feed sector. By providing accurate and reliable data on the energy content of feed ingredients, this analysis supports informed decision-making regarding ingredient selection, formulation optimization, and regulatory compliance.
The methodology adheres strictly to ISO 49601 guidelines, ensuring consistency and accuracy across different laboratories. This standardization is essential for maintaining product quality and meeting industry benchmarks. The insights gained from this service can lead to improved feed efficiency, reduced waste, and enhanced animal performance.
