" Entrust your contaminant analyses to a specialist "

Animal feed sector

Animal feed is the leading consumer of grain cereals. It is the essential element to meet all the needs of animals on a daily basis with various contributions for their health:

  • micronutrients(vitamins, trace elements and minerals) which play an essential role in the functioning of the body,
  • Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) which have the role of providing energy to the whole body.

Feed includes raw materials for the production of feed, additives and compound feed.
Animals need to consume safe feed to prevent the occurrence of undesirable and harmful effects both to the animal and also to humans who are going to consume the products from the farm.


Controlling health risk

Many substances are likely to be found in animal feed: pesticides used in the treatment of raw materials, heavy metals, dioxins...
Animal feed is subject to specific regulations that set maximum limits for many contaminants. Our laboratory is specialised in contaminant analysis.
