This test method is a procedure for performing sieve analysis on wet feed samples to determine particle size distribution. This method adapts traditional sieve analysis for wet samples, ensuring reliable particle size measurement despite moisture presence.
This test method is a rapid method used for the detection and enumeration of Staphylococcus aureus. This method employs 3M™ Petrifilm™ Staph Express Count Plates, which contain a chromogenic medium that allows presumptive identification of S. aureus based on colony color and morphology.
Relative Feed Quality (RFQ) is an index used to estimate the overall nutritional value and digestibility of animal feed and forages, taking into consideration factors from crude protein, crude fat, fiber, and ash analyses.
This test method quantifies fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose, and sucralose, all sugars found within fermentation samples and animal feed ingredients. This quantification can help optimize and implement changes within the fermentation process.
Relative Feed Value (RFV) is an index used to estimate the overall forage quality based on two key fiber components: Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) and Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF). It predicts how well a forage will be consumed and digested by ruminant animals, particularly dairy cattle.
This test method is a multiclass, multiresidue method for the detection and quantification of various antibiotic residues in animal feed.
This test method is a procedure that uses headspace gas chromatography (GC) to detect and quantify residual hexane in oilseed meals and animal feed ingredients that have undergone solvent extraction.
This test method is a standardized enzymatic procedure designed to accurately measure resistant starch (RS) content in foods and feed.
This test method is an in vitro assay that uses pancreatin enzymes to simulate the digestive process and assess the digestibility of feedstuffs or food ingredients. Pancreatin, a mixture of digestive enzymes including proteases, amylases, and lipases, mimics the enzymatic activity in the small intestine.
This test method is a standardized procedure to assess the in vitro digestibility of protein using the enzyme pepsin, which simulates gastric digestion. This method estimates how much protein in a sample can be broken down under stomach-like conditions.
