Feed additives are widely used in the livestock breeding industry because they have the characteristics of low use, are effective in improving the utilization of feed, promote the growth of livestock and poultry, and prevent livestock and poultry diseases. In recent years, the feed additive industry has developed rapidly, and certain safety hazards generate huge benefits. Such as the use of trace element additives lead to heavy metals in the environment, and soil and water bodies exceed the standard. The excessive use of pharmaceutical additives leads to excessive feed additive residues in meat, milk, and eggs. The indiscriminate use of feed additives, and abuse has become major problem in the current feed industry that needs to be addressed.
Therefore, Lifeasible has developed different means to test feed additives to control the regulated, rational, and safe use of feed additives in feed. It not only saves you costs but also makes the feed additives play their real value and function for the better benefit of people.
- Qualitative testing of feed additive components.
- Quantitative testing of feed additive components.
Detection methods that we offer
|
Physical analysis methods |
We test and identify feed additives with the help of their physical properties. It is suitable for feed additives that are used to improve the taste and quality of the feed itself, such as binders. Their addition mostly changes the hardness, melting point, and other properties of the feed itself.
We commonly use the pH meter to determine the pH value, a specific rotational meter to determine the spin density, a dry box or Fisher's moisture meter to determine the moisture, etc. The premise of the use of this method is to be clear about the physical properties of the feed additive itself or its effect on the physical properties of the feed. |
| Bioassay method |
The biological detection methods we offer include microscopy and immunological methods. The use of biological microscopy to magnify the external characteristics of feed and feed additives or detailed cellular morphology to detect and distinguish different categories of feed additives. The use of biological detection immunological principles, polymerase chain reaction, and other ways to check the feed additives inclusions. |
| Chemical analysis method |
We use the chemical reactions that can occur in feed additives as the basis for type and quality testing, and specifically, analyze the chemical reactions in which substances are involved in the measurement. Our commonly used chemical detection methods are neutralization, redox, potentiometric titration, etc. |
When the chemical structure of feed additive products is special or consists of multi-component mixtures, such as containing chelates and complexes, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, complex enzymes, chiral compounds, and complex micro-ecological preparations, conventional methods usually do not yield satisfactory test results. Therefore, we can provide suitable detection methods for additives with complex components in addition to conventional additives.
Testing scope. Feed, natural plant feed additives, bioactive enhancers, yeast protein, fish meal, meat meal, meat and bone meal, corn meal, feed yeast, etc.
