Animal Food and Feed Testing

ATL has the expertise and advanced facilities to perform wide-ranging testing services on animal feeds like contamination investigation, analysis, quality, nutritional value and evaluation of the manufacturing process. Animal feed inspection and evaluation are essential to improve the nutritional component, overall growth and well-being of animals.

Animal feed manufacturing companies should provide a complete analysis report of the presence and measure of nutrients, additives, preservatives, etc., in compliance with the labelling information and obtain necessary approvals from the regulatory bodies before being made available in the market. The animal feed inspection and evaluation services at Analytical Technology Laboratory include testing of cattle feed, dog feed, chicken feed, poultry feed, etc.

Physical and Chemical Analysis Parameters

ATLs analysts perform various tests to test animal feed’s colour, structure, viscosity, weight, thickness, texture, granulation, size and food stability to ensure animal feed’s consistency.

We perform chemical tests to verify the animal feed’s chemical composition like, protein, fat, etc., to identify the presence of heavy metals and minerals. Our testing process help businesses ensure that the animal feed’s quality and safety are not compromised and that the texture, taste and odour do not alter, with the addition of preservatives and additives.

Microbiological Testing
To ensure food hygiene, we perform biological testing to identify and analyse the type of microorganisms and toxic pathogens in animal feed and measure them. To ensure hygienic workplace conditions, we perform swab testing of animal feed processing platforms and on individuals handling feed products, along with atmospheric testing since the working environment is critical in sustaining feed quality.

Antibiotic Residue Analysis
Antibiotics are either derived naturally from fungi or bacteria or via chemical synthesis and are used as drugs to treat bacterial infections in humans and animals. Antibiotics are used in animal feed to promote growth, and genetically modified animal feed has adverse effects on animals hence, ATL offers wide-ranging testing services to analyze antibiotic residues in animal feed.

Pesticide Residue Analysis

Pesticides, fungicides and herbicides in acceptable quantities promote yield and resistance to pests and diseases, and overuse and use of prohibited substances assist in the proliferation of harmful chemical residues in animal feed.

We provide quick and precise screening to detect, identify and measure the presence of antibiotics, drugs and pesticides and expert trace-residue analysis services, enabling businesses to adhere to safety standards in manufacturing animal feeds.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls Analysis
Dioxins and PCBs are contaminants found in animal feed due to industrial activities like combustion, incineration or unintentional addition of by-products found in herbicides or pesticides. ATLs food safety analysts use accredited methods to analyze animal feeds to determine the presence of these harmful chemicals, helping animal feed manufacturers to contain these elements under permissible limits and avoid potential damage to business reputation and loss of buyer trust.
Toxin Contaminants

Contaminants arising from fungi strains are found in animal feed, we help businesses monitor and control mycotoxins since exposure to them directly or through their accumulation in the food chain can be hazardous.

ATLs food analysts utilize hi-tech facilities to detect, identify and quantify the presence of mycotoxins in animal feed products.
