Animal Derived Ingredients Testing

Providing safe, nutritious, and sustainable animal ingredients is the goal of all renderers and fishmeal processors. Although mostly directed to feed formulations, animal ingredient derivatives are used in a range of applications, from cosmetic formulations to neutraceuticals. It is therefore important to monitor and measure the nutritive value of all the ingredients and final products. PerkinElmer provides a full range of technologies for complete analysis of animal proteins and ingredients for process optimization and quality control.

Nutritional & Compositional Analysis

Assessing ingredient parameters such as essential amino acids, crude protein, and moisture are critical to delivering optimal animal dietary components for biological performance, feed conversion, and cost.

Fishmeal - DA 7250

Fish meal is an important source of protein and other nutrients, used in feed and pet food production. Rapid compositional testing is of paramount importance. The Near Infrared Reflectance (NIR) technology is highly suitable for these purposes. The DA 7250 uses novel Diode Array NIR technology and performs a multi-component analysis in less than 10 seconds.

Analysis of Blood meal for Protein, Moisture and Ash

For processors as well as users of blood meal it is essential to be able to test samples for nutritional composition and rapid analysis of parameters such as moisture, oil and protein are of great benefit. The Near Infrared Reflectance (NIR) technique is particularly suited for measurement of these types of samples. The DA 7200 is a proven full-spectrum, NIR instrument designed for use in the rendering and feed industries. Using novel diode array technology it performs a multi-component analysis in only 6 seconds with no or little sample preparation required.

Analysis of Moisture, Protein, Fat, & Ash in Poultry Meal Using Perten DA 7200

Compositional analysis of poultry meal is vital to running a rendering plant and to formulating pet foods and feeds. The Near Infrared Reflectance (NIR) technique is particularly suited for measurement of poultry meal. The DA 7200 is a new fullspectrum, NIR instrument. Its novel diode array technology it performs a multi-component analysis in only 6 seconds with no sample grinding or sample preparation required. During this time 180 full spectra are collected and averaged. As the sample is analyzed in an open dish, the problems associated with sample cups are avoided and operator influence on results is minimal.
