Feed microscopy is the subjective half of the quality assurance picture.  It is the fastest and most practical way to identify contaminants and adulterants in ingredients and finished feeds.

The following types of analysis are available for finished feed samples and/or feed ingredients:

QUALITATIVE ANALYSES
bulletIngredient Examination, written opinion
bulletFeed Tag Verification
bulletAdulterants & Contaminants in Ingredients, (pelleted/not pelleted)
 

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSES

bulletAdulterants & Contaminants in Ingredients, (pelleted/not pelleted)
bulletAdulterants & Contaminants in Complete Feeds, (pelleted/not pelleted)


NOTE:
We are not accepting samples for "Formula Feed Ingredients Identification" (either qualitative or quantitative) at this time.  We are not accepting samples for Quantitative "Adulterants & Contaminants" on formula feed samples at this time.   No complete aquaculture feeds are accepted for analysis.
