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]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
This test method is a standard procedure for measuring moisture content in forage and feed samples. Accurate moisture determination is critical for evaluating dry matter content, which affects nutrient calculations, storage decisions, and feed quality. A known weight of sample is dried in an oven at a specified temperature (usually 105°C) for a defined period… Continue reading Moisture – 105°C
This test method is used to evaluate the purity and quality of oils, particularly in the food, feed, and biofuel industries. MIU refers to the measurement of three non-fat components commonly present in oils and fats: moisture (M), insolubles (I), and unsaponifiables (U). High levels of MIU can indicate contamination, degradation, or poor refining processes.… Continue reading MIU [Vacuum Oven]

This test method is a standardized analytical procedure for the quantitative determination of minerals in water samples using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The method is widely employed for monitoring metal contaminants in drinking water, surface water, groundwater, and wastewater. This test method quantifies calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, phosphorus (as P2O5),… Continue reading Minerals [Water] ICPOES
