Moisture – 135°C

This test method is a classic, officially recognized method for determining moisture content in animal feed using an air oven drying technique. This gravimetric method is widely used in feed laboratories for routine moisture analysis, helping ensure accurate nutrient formulation and product stability. A known weight of sample is dried in an oven at a… Continue reading Moisture – 135°C

Non-protein Nitrogen

This test method is a procedure for the determination of Non-Protein Nitrogen (NPN) in various samples, primarily in dairy products and animal feeds. NPN includes nitrogen compounds not incorporated into proteins, such as free amino acids, urea, and ammonia.

Moisture – Overnight 110°C

This test method is a standardized method for determining moisture content in forage samples, important for accurate dry matter determination.

Moisture – Vacuum 70°C

This test method is a procedure for determining moisture content in various food products using a vacuum oven drying technique. This method is particularly useful for samples sensitive to heat or prone to oxidation during drying.

Mycotoxins [Aflatoxin via LC-MS/MS Single Column]

This test method is a widely used immunoaffinity column (IAC) based assay designed for the detection and quantification of total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2) in various food and feed samples. It offers a rapid, sensitive, and user-friendly approach for screening aflatoxin contamination.

Mycotoxins [DON via LC-MS/MS Single Column]

This test method is a standard method for the determination of Deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin, in cereals and cereal-based products using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) with a single chromatographic column.

Mycotoxins [Multi-Toxin via LC-MS/MS]

This test method is a procedure that utilizes immunoaffinity columns (IACs) designed for the cleanup and concentration of multiple mycotoxins (Deoxynivalenol (DON), aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2), ochratoxin, zearalenone, fumonisins (B1, B2, B3), T-2, and HT-2) from food and feed samples prior to analysis by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).

NDF

This test method is an automated, standardized approach used to measure the fiber content in feed and forage samples. NDF represents the cell wall components, including cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which are important for assessing forage quality and digestibility.

NDF/ADF Sequential

The sequential test method using ANKOM Technology allows for the determination of Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) followed by Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) in forage and feed samples using automated filter bag systems. This approach provides a comprehensive fiber profile critical for assessing feed quality and digestibility.

Neutral Detergent Insoluble Protein [Combustion]

The combustion method for neutral detergent insoluble protein (NDIP) is used to measure the amount of indigestible protein bound within the fiber portion of animal feed, particularly relevant for assessing heat-damaged or low-quality proteins. In this method, the feed sample is treated with an acid detergent solution to isolate the neutral detergent fiber (NDF), which… Continue reading Neutral Detergent Insoluble Protein [Combustion]
