Aprofood is committed to providing the most comprehensive customized solutions for the testing industry. Our global analytical laboratory network serves the feed and pet food industries, offering a wide range of chemical analysis services for optimizing nutritional formulas and for routine quality control of feed and pet food products.
Why Test Feed & Pet Food?
Before being put on the market, feed and pet food need to undergo systematic testing to ensure their safety and nutritional adequacy. This field requires strict compliance with international and regional regulatory requirements set by organizations such as Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), European Pet Food Industry Federation (FEDIAF), and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), ensuring that products meet the safety thresholds for market access. At the same time, it is necessary to keep up with industry trends, such as alternative proteins and personalized nutrition, ultimately providing scientific basis for the full life cycle quality control of feed and pet food (from raw material selection to product launch), and helping enterprises balance safety, nutrition, and compliance requirements.
Our Service
Aprofood has the capability to conduct tests on feed for aquaculture, poultry, ruminants, and pet food. Our testing laboratory offers customized testing solutions for various types of samples (including raw materials, finished products, wet products, dry products, and semi-wet products). Our services include rigorous analysis of macronutrients, micronutrients, contaminants, and functional additives.
Our Services Offering
In accordance with the nutritional declaration requirements of AAFCO, the mandatory declared components such as moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and ash are measured. Our aim is to ensure that pets receive sufficient protein and fat to meet their dietary needs, while avoiding excessive water and fiber being used as fillers.
We conduct a more detailed nutritional analysis for our products, going beyond the basic guarantee analysis. It also includes the assessment of calories, vitamins (A, B, C, D, E), minerals, complete amino acid profile, and fatty acid profile (Omega 3, 6, 9). This helps you showcase the more comprehensive nutritional value of our products.
Includes comprehensive tests covering heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, etc.), mycotoxins (aflatoxin, zearalenone, etc.), pathogens (Salmonella, Listeria, Enterobacteriaceae, etc.), feed medications (monensin, amprolium, ractopamine, etc.), biogenic amines (cadaverine, histamine, etc.), pesticide residues, rancidity testing, and shelf life studies.
- Functional and Bioactive Testing
The precise analysis of functional components and their bioactive efficacy in feed and pet food, including probiotic viability, prebiotic effectiveness, ORAC value determination of natural antioxidants, choline chloride content analysis, as well as feed digestibility assessment. These evaluations verify product stability and demonstrate the actual health benefits delivered to animals.
