Facts & Figures on Contaminants in Feed

20 20 kompakt FACTS & FIGURES ON CONTAMINANTS IN FEED

Compare the analysis results of your own feed

In order to be able to classify the results correctly, the correspon- ding measured value ranges of the respective analysis results are represented. They serve as an orientation guide: The results can be set in relation to the limit values for the di erent feeds. New this year are the three parameters OTA, packaging material and hydrocyanic acid. Basis: Analysis results of the QS feed monitoring from January 2008 to June 2020 Zearalenone (ZEA)
