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.

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 [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.

Nitrogen free extract

This test method is a procedure for calculating the Nitrogen-Free Extract (NFE) in food and feed samples. NFE represents the portion of carbohydrates that are not accounted for by fiber, moisture, ash, or protein, essentially reflecting the readily digestible carbohydrate content.

Nitrite

This test method is a colorimetric test procedure used for the determination of nitrite-nitrogen (NO₂-N) in water samples. It is commonly applied in environmental monitoring, wastewater treatment, and drinking water analysis.

Nitrate+Nitrite

This test method is an established analytical method for measuring the combined concentration of nitrate (NO₃-) and nitrite (NO₂-) nitrogen in water and wastewater samples. It is part of the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater.

Nitrate

This test method is a colorimetric test procedure used for the determination of nitrate-nitrogen (NO₃-N) in water samples. It is commonly applied in environmental monitoring, wastewater treatment, and drinking water analysis.

Neutral Detergent Insoluble Protein [Kjeldahl]

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 [Kjeldahl]

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]
