Let us help find your solution

We have a proven track record of supporting the feed industry.  We can provide testing at every step of the way to ensure your animal feed is healthy and safe. 

We offer assistance across a wide variety of medicated animal feed requirements including but not limited to:

• Customer feed program - Your feed manufacturing operation has a variety of needs. We provide customized analytical programs, with reports and services tailored to your specifications.
• Regulatory compliance requirements - The medicated feed industry requires compliance with quality and regulatory standards. We are ISO 17025 accredited and operate in compliance with cGMP and GLP regulations.
• Adverse events - You may experience unforeseen circumstances that require analytical expertise. We will support your investigation with experimental design and testing with methods approved for official and regulatory use.
• Veterinary drug contamination testing - Your goal is to ensure your feed products do not contain unwanted ingredients.  We possess a library of offerings available to meet your needs.
• Medicated feed mill licensing - When your facility manufactures medicated feeds, your operation must adhere to the regulations specified by the FDA. Let us guide you through the process to be licensed to produce medicated feeds.

The dosage of veterinary drugs varies depending on the species and use. We conduct analytical procedures that are approved for regulatory use and directly apply to the specific formula and drug concentration of the feed to be tested.

We offer testing for the following veterinary drugs:

• Aminoglycosides (e.g., gentamycin, neomycin, spectinomycin, and streptomycin) 
• Bambermycins (e.g., bambermycin, flavophospholipol)  
• Beta-Lactams  
• Penicillins (e.g., penicillin G, penicillin V, amoxicillin) 
• Cephalosporins (e.g., cefotaxime)  
• Ionophores (e.g.,  monensin, lasalocid, laidlomycin)  
• Lincosamides (e.g., lincomycin)  
• Macrolides (e.g., erythromycin, tylosin)  
• Polypeptides (e.g., bacitracin)  
• Quinolones (e.g., fluoroquinolones)  
• Streptogramins (e.g., virginiamycin) 
• Sulfonamides (e.g., sulfa drugs)  
• Tetracyclines (e.g., chlortetracycline and oxytetracycline)

We are experts in animal nutrition product testing and are ready to help your company succeed. With tailored solutions designed specifically to meet your needs, we always have you covered. 

What tests does your company need? We can offer assistance across a wide variety of animal nutrition applications including:

• New product development - Our team will support your R&D projects through every phase of a successful approval process. We can take your project to the next level, freeing your scientists to move on to your next project.
• Dietary supplements - Dietary supplements can improve health by improving feed efficiency, immunity, fertility, and growth. We can test your products to verify that your finished optimized formula meets the intended specifications.
• Proof of concept projects - Keeping your project pipeline moving is one of our top priorities. Let us assist in the collection of reliable data to support the claims of new products and ideas.
• Microbiome - Metagenomic and metabolomic studies of the gut microbiotas in food production animals are paving the way for precision interventions to increase health, growth, and feed efficiency based on desired functional shifts. Partner with us to develop the next generation of animal health products.
• Food animals - Optimizing the growth and development of food stock production animals is key to success. Our team has experience with a wide variety of animal feed products for all species of food production animals.
• Companion animals - Quality pet care products that promote a longer, healthier life are in high demand. We can produce new and supplemental data packages to bring more of your products to this growing market.
• New feed ingredients - Your new feed ingredient may have superior benefits over similar alternatives, but if it is not defined and approved by regulating authorities, then it is not ready for market. We can guide you through the process of gathering the information you will need to provide to regulators to determine whether or not your novel ingredient can be approved for use in animal feed formulations.
• Prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics - Optimizing nutrition and microbiome function can be accomplished by supplementing with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. Partner with us to investigate the refinement of dietary formulas and supplements through a better understanding of stress response, the impact of stress on the immune system, and improved nutrition.
• Nutrient analysis - The need for nutrient analysis to support your product can be extensive. We specialize in food chemistry, analyzing feed, commodities, pet food, and dietary supplements for lipids, proximates, minerals, and more. Let us provide you with quality analyses for all of your nutrient testing.

Our team of industry experts is here to support you through your medicated feed, animal nutrition, or pharmaceutical project, we have a breadth of experience to support you, including:

• Agency regulation compliance support for your sample type
• Support for R&D projects, from start to finish.
• Guidance through information gathering around a novel ingredient for a request for approval.
• Method support through five key areas; developing, transferring, optimizing, validating, and modernizing.

We can support the following study types:

• Type B and Type C Dose Formulation Analysis
