Determination of Urea in Protein-Rich Feed Laboratory Testing Service

Introduction

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab offers a wide range of analytical services to ensure the quality and safety of various products. One such critical test is the Determination of Urea in Protein-Rich Feed, which is essential for ensuring the nutritional value and integrity of animal feed. This article provides an in-depth guide to this testing service, covering standard-related information, standard requirements and needs, test conditions and methodology, test reporting and documentation, benefits of performing this test, and why Eurolab should provide this service.

 

The Determination of Urea in Protein-Rich Feed testing is governed by various international and national standards. Some of the key standards include:

 

  • ISO 16634:2008 - Animal feed - Determination of urea content

 

  • ASTM E1057-09 - Standard Practice for Sampling Animal Feeds

 

  • EN 15523:2011 - Animal feeding stuffs - Sampling

 

  • Determination of Urea in Protein-Rich Feed

 

These standards ensure that the testing is conducted with precision, accuracy, and reliability. The standards are developed by standard development organizations (SDOs) such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN).

The standards cover various aspects of the testing process, including sampling, sample preparation, testing parameters, and reporting. The standards also specify the requirements for laboratory equipment, personnel, and quality management systems.
