Description :
Quality of animal feed used determines the quality of animal products such as milk, meat, egg etc. Quality of animal feed also determines the extent of feed intake by lives tocks, its nutrients & digestibility & most importantly the safety of live stocks ie domesticated or animal husbandry. All domesticated animals & animal husbandry such as Dogs, Chicken, Pigs, Cattles need balanced diet for their growth as also for reproductive & overall health. Animal feed largely is formulated with ingredients such as grass, crop residues, grain, oil seed cakes etc. These ingredients could be a cause or source of contamination that can affect the quality & safety of Animal feed produced. Testing of feed used in livestock are therefore crucial. To ensure appropriate nutritional intake for the livestock, it is important to determine the nutritional contents in the feed, which can result in achieving optimal milk, meat & egg production. Testing of animal feed can prevent over-supplementing, save cost, reduce nutrient imbalance, and optimize diet intake by the animals. The essence is for successful animal nutrition, precise knowledge of the composition of the feed is integral. For example, percentage of protein will enable arrive at an appropriate protein energy ratio, which can maximize feed efficiency and growth. Testing of animal is essential to determine its nutritional values, dry matter, acid detergent fibre, neutral detergent fibre, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium & that it is free contaminants such as mycotoxins, veterinary drugs, pesticides, and other chemical or microbial contaminants.
