Animal Feed (AFPS)

"Our animal feed proficiency testing scheme: constantly evolving to meet new industry challenges"

Animal feed is tightly regulated, not least because many animals and their products are ultimately destined for consumption by humans. 

The AXIO AFPS scheme is an animal feed proficiency testing programme that offers a broad range of samples and analytes to help testing laboratories establish a comprehensive quality system, maintain high analytical standards, and avoid costly product recalls (such as when animal feed contamination reaches the human food chain). 

Additional samples are frequently added to the range, such as those for the analysis of fusarium mycotoxins in oats and maize that link to those in our Food Chemistry scheme. Our range of matrices is also extensive – from cattle- and fish feed to silage and pet food.
