Tylosin Residue Testing in Animal Feed
Tylosin is a macrolide antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections in animals. However, its presence in animal feed at levels above the acceptable limits can pose significant risks to human health and animal welfare. Ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for tylosin residues is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the food supply chain.
In this context, Eurolab offers specialized testing services aimed at identifying and quantifying tylosin residues in animal feed. Our comprehensive approach ensures accurate results that are reliable and repeatable, aligning with international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 for proficiency.
The process begins with the collection of representative samples from various batches or lots within a production facility. Proper sample preparation is critical to obtaining precise test results. This involves grinding and homogenizing feed samples, followed by extraction using appropriate solvents suitable for tylosin analysis according to methods like those described in ISO 17259.
After extraction, the analyte concentration is determined through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet detection or mass spectrometry (MS). These techniques provide sensitivity and selectivity necessary for detecting even trace amounts of tylosin. The analytical method must also account for potential interferences from other compounds present in feed ingredients.
Once the analysis is complete, Eurolab generates detailed reports that include all relevant data points along with our findings regarding compliance or non-compliance with applicable regulations. Our lab adheres strictly to guidelines set forth by authorities such as the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), European Commission Directives, and other regional bodies.
Our service extends beyond mere compliance checking; it contributes significantly towards ensuring safe agricultural practices that protect both consumers and producers. By providing reliable residue testing services, Eurolab helps stakeholders achieve sustainable growth while upholding ethical business conduct.
