A feed testing laboratory can operate within a number of different production, research and development (R&D; academic and industry), and public health contexts. They can[1]:

  • act as a third-party consultant, interpreting analytical data;
  • provide research and development support for new and revised formulations;
  • provide analytical support for nutrition and contaminant determinations;
  • provide development support for analytical methods;
  • ensure quality to specifications, accreditor standards, and regulations;
  • develop informative databases and data libraries for researchers;
  • manage in-house and remote sample collection, labeling, and registration, including on farms; and
  • report accurate and timely results to stakeholders, including those responsible for monitoring public health.

This wide variety of roles within these major contexts highlights several aspects of the labs operating in the animal feed sector. First, like the more human-based food and beverage industry, the types of testing will vary based upon the context. From R&D and pre-production optimization and quality assurance (QA) to production and post-production quality control (QC) and regulatory safety, analytical workflows can differ, sometimes significantly, in the food and beverage industry.[2] This is similarly true for labs in the animal feed industry. As such—regulations and standards aside—we can draw similar parallels in the test types found in feed analysis labs.

Second—and also similar to food and beverage testing[2]—the roles listed above also highlight the cross-disciplinary nature of analyzing animal feed ingredients and products, and interpreting the resulting data. The human biological sciences, veterinary sciences, environmental sciences, chemistry, microbiology, radiochemistry, botany, epidemiology, and more may be involved within a given animal feed analysis laboratory.[3][4][5] Given this significant cross-disciplinarity, it's can be challenging to characterize the full spectrum of testing found within feed testing labs.
