A client requested testing for the cGMP-compliant analysis of cattle feed medicated with monensin. Watch our case study video below to learn how Eurofins Animal Health Testing evaluated and validated AOAC Official Method 2006.01 Monensin, Narasin, and Salinomycin in Mineral Premixes, Supplements, and Animal Feeds.
Testing or verifying specifications of your ingredients and products is not always straightforward. Food and feed matrices have complex chemistry that methods need to take into account. This case study shows how our team of scientists helped a company experiencing issues with the Total Mixed Ration cattle feed.
Carotenoids (like beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, and astaxanthin) are of great interest in the food, animal feed, and dietary supplement industries for a variety of reasons. However, due to many factors, their stability in product formulations can be challenging. Find out more!
TMR is a high-moisture, non-homogenous sample matrix. This mixture of feed ingredients is challenging to mill and blend for good lab testing. Watch our case study video to learn more.
