The production of high-quality feed materials and additives for livestock plays a key role in agriculture. To ensure proper nutrition and maintain animal health, it is necessary to accurately and reliably determine the nutritional characteristics of feed materials and additives. Accurate analysis of feed chemistry is becoming a decisive factor for optimizing production and improving product quality in a competitive global market.

Quality control in the production of livestock feed is regulated by international standards. The Dumas method is widely used to determine the nitrogen content of livestock feed, which is critical for assessing their protein composition and ensuring the necessary level of nutrients.

In the context of quality management in the livestock feed industry, there are several standards that help ensure the accuracy and reliability of analysis results. The main ones are:

5

AOAC Official Method 990.03 “Nitrogen (Total) in Animal Feed by the Dumas Method”

5

ISO 16634-2:2009 “Food products — Determination of the total nitrogen content by combustion method — Part 2: Method using combustion and chemiluminescence detection”

5

ISO 16634-1 – This standard defines a method for determining total nitrogen and calculating crude protein content in a variety of foods, including fish and seafood.

5

ISO 5983-1:2005 Determination of nitrogen and calculation of crude protein content in feeds.

5

AOAC 992.15 Nitrogen (protein) in feed.

These standards define a methodology for accurately analysing the carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulphur and oxygen content of feed ingredients to ensure their safety and quality.

Our Dumalyzer™ CHNS-O element analyzers and Dumalyzer™ N/Protein analyzers are ideal tools for livestock feed production. They provide fast and accurate analysis of the chemical composition of feed ingredients, which is critical for optimizing production processes and meeting strict quality standards. The devices allow you to control the content of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen, ensuring the highest quality and safety of products. Dumalyzer™ is an assistant in providing analysis of the quality of livestock feed.
